Scientific Abstract
To better understand the influence of the early phase of autoimmunity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on joint structure, longitudinal observations of pre-RA patients are necessary. High-resolution CT is used to investigate how bone density and structure and biomechanical properties of pre-RA patients develop over time, what influence different biomarker profiles have and what bone characteristics patients developing clinical RA have.
