Background Dual-energy CT is able to distinguish between materials based on differences in X-ray absorption at different X-ray beam energies. The strong k-edge photoelectric effect of materials with a high atomic number makes this modality ideal for identifying iodine-containing compounds. We aim to evaluate dual-energy CT for the detection of…[Read more]

Many trials have shown that intensive management is effective in patients with early active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). But its benefits are unproven for the large number of RA patients seen in routine care who have established, moderately active RA and are already taking conventional synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs).
