Imaging in juvenile idiopathic arthritis - international initiatives and ongoing work

Charlotte M Nusman et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2018 Jun.

Abstract

Imaging is increasingly being integrated into clinical practice to improve diagnosis, disease control and outcome in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Over the last decades several international groups have been launched to standardize and validate different imaging techniques. To enhance transparency and facilitate collaboration, we present an overview of ongoing initiatives.
