Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the reliability of ultrasound (US) muscle echogenicity assessments in patients with rheumatic diseases, involving 42 rheumatologists and 2 radiologists analyzing images and clips from 64 patients and 8 healthy subjects.
- Results showed that a semi-quantitative scale had moderate inter-reliability and substantial intra-reliability, while a continuous quantitative measurement ("VAS echogenicity") exhibited high reliability in both observer types.
- Overall, the findings confirmed good inter and intra-reliability of ultrasound assessments for muscle echogenicity in this patient group, suggesting consistency in evaluation methods across different observers.
