Abstract
in English, German

Imaging instruments, such as conventional X‑ray, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are now fully established and highly valued in the care of rheumatology patients. However, the information provided by these imaging modalities in their current form is of limited utility for the prognostic prediction of individual patient outcomes. This article illuminates an important part of the development of imaging and shows that the vision of personalized medicine is becoming increasingly more tangible due to the further development of high-resolution imaging techniques, molecular imaging and artificial intelligence.

Bildgebende Verfahren wie das konventionelle Röntgen, die Sonographie und die Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT) haben sich in der Versorgung von rheumatologischen Patient*innen mittlerweile in vollem Umfang etabliert und einen hohen Stellenwert erlangt. Die Informationen, die diese bildgebenden Verfahren in ihrer derzeitigen Form liefern, sind jedoch nur von begrenztem Nutzen für die prognostische Vorhersage individueller Patientenergebnisse. Dieser Beitrag soll einen wichtigen Teil der Entwicklung der Bildgebung beleuchten und zeigen, dass die Vision der personalisierten Medizin dank der Weiterentwicklung hochauflösender bildgebender Verfahren, molekularer Bildgebung und künstlicher Intelligenz zunehmend greifbar wird.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Magnetic resonance imaging; Molecular imaging; Personalized medicine; Sonography.
