Encouraged to pursue a workshop application for OMERACT 2016. SPECTRA Last meeting June 2014, Lyon New members: Drs. Rosa Pereira (Brazil), and LS Tam (Hong Kong). Perfusion study : small cortical breaks seen by micro-CT that are linear in shape are in fact blood vessel channels. Development of an automated script to identify cortical breaks (Maastricht). Ongoing comparison of different joint space width assessment methods (Calgary, Lyon, UCSF). Work has begun on an image atlas (Maastricht) and a systematic literature review. SPECTRA Detection of cortical break > 0.5mm MCP joint of one case a. µCT image b. HR-pQCT image SPECTRA Upcoming events OMERACT Proposal due November 2014 Study Group at the American College of Rheumatology, Tuesday Nov 18 Next SPECTRA Meeting at the University of Maastricht, April 10-11 2015 New collaborators interested in the assessment of inflammatory arthritis using HR-pQCT are always welcome to join the group.
