Summary

This trial aims to study a new MRI technique called 3D DL oZTEo to detect bone erosion in the hands of patients with inflammatory arthritis. Detecting bone changes is important in diseases like

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, who need their hand bones checked for damage. The study will use a new MRI technique to spot bone erosion.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new MRI pulse sequence called 3D DL oZTEo. It's designed to better detect bone erosions in the hands of patients with inflammatory arthritis compared to current methods.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an imaging technique rather than a drug or invasive procedure, there are no direct side effects expected from the intervention itself.

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
The binary (yes/no) presence of bony erosions as detected by hand MRI with and without the addition of the 3D DL oZTEo sequence.
Secondary study objectives
The number of erosions (continuous) as detected by hand MRI with and without the addition of the 3D DL oZTEo sequence.

Awards & Highlights

No Placebo-Only Group
All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.
