Summary

New type of imaging method is in demand clinically for early detection and treatment guiding of RA. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI), a hot spot in medical imaging society, which combines the merits of optical imaging and US and has a capacity in morphological, functional and molecular imaging, has shown potential in visualizing superficial organs, including small joints. The investigators developed a multi-modal photoacoustic/ultrasound (PA/US) imaging system, equipped with a handheld 3D PA/US probe, which wass able to provide 3D volume data of dual-wavelength PA imaging of small joints, in addition to real-time 2D PA/US imaging. The investigators plan to recruit RA patients in different disease conditions and healthy volunteers to receive the 2D and 3D PA/US examination on the 2nd and 3rd MCP, PIP joints and wrist joints using this imaging system, and to evaluate the potential clinical role of the imaging system in RA, and its added value to current imaging methods.
