Webinar: Sonagraphy and rheumatoid arthritis.

Ultrasonography (US) is a powerful and useful tool for the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The first part of this webinar is about, after scanning standardisations, the basic lesions to look for: synovitis, tenosynovitis, erosions, where and when to look for them. Should we use US for diagnosis, disease follow up or/and remission? In the second part, we will consider the literature data to locate the interest of the US examination during the remission. Should we use US to reduce or stop treatment? Are there any data on the risk of relapse? To finish with, we will discuss the French recommandations, which should be published soon, concerning the use of US in RA.
