Application of high frequency ultrasound in early hand joints of rheumatoid arthritis
Release date: 2015-07-31
Recently, researchers published a paper to explore the application of high-frequency ultrasound in the diagnosis of early hand-type joints of rheumatoid arthritis, and provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis of early rheumatoid arthritis hand small joint lesions. The study pointed out that high-frequency ultrasound has a significant effect in the diagnosis of early small-scale joint disease of rheumatoid arthritis, which can effectively detect the excessive proliferation of blood vessels in patients, and has a very high promotion value. The article was published in the 2015 issue of China Practical Medicine.
Sixty patients with rheumatoid arthritis of hand facet joint disease were selected as observation group. Sixty patients with healthy physical examination were selected as the control group. High-frequency ultrasound was used to scan the proximal knuckles and metacarpophalangeal joints of the two groups. The joint soft tissue, joint cavity and blood flow were measured, and the thickness of the synovium was measured.
In terms of synovial thickness, the observation group was significantly thicker than the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.365, P<0.05). In the detection of vascular proliferation, the power Doppler detection rate was significantly higher than that of color Doppler. The detection rate, the difference between the two was statistically significant (χ2=4.518, P<0.05).
