Thu0537 validity and Diagnostic Performance of Fluorescence Optical Imaging Measuring Synovitis in Hand Osteoarthritis. Results From the Nor-Hand Study.
Abstract:Background:Fluorescence Optical Imaging (FOI) demonstrates enhanced microcirculation in finger joints as a sign of inflammation.Objectives:We wanted to assess the validity and diagnostic performance of FOI measuring synovitis, comparing it with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)- and ultrasound-detected synovitis in persons with hand osteoarthritis (OA).Methods:Two hundred and twenty-one participants (88% female, age (SD) 60.6 (6.2) years) with hand OA from the Nor-Hand study underwent FOI and grey scale (GS) an… Show more
