Interpreting radiographic data in rheumatoid arthritis

P A Ory. Ann Rheum Dis. 2003 Jul.

Abstract

Plain film radiography is the preferred method for evaluating disease progression in rheumatoid arthritis and for establishing the efficacy of new disease modifying antirheumatic agents. However, the relative efficacy of these agents cannot be determined by comparing radiographic data from different studies, and a standardised system is needed.
