One of the biggest challenges in caring for patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) is quantifying the degree of disease activity in any
given joint. We have built a prototype device using well-established sensors to rapidly
quantify surface swelling and heat in arthritic joints. The goal of our studies is to test
the hypothesis that this Imager can improve the clinical assessment of arthritis.
