AI Article Synopsis
- - This review discusses how different imaging techniques help assess vascular and musculoskeletal issues in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) using methods like thermography, ultrasound, and MRI.
- - Various imaging methods provide insight into conditions associated with SSc, such as Raynaud phenomenon, digital ulcers, and hand contractures.
- - The study highlights that while each imaging technique has its strengths and weaknesses, a combination of methods is essential for an accurate and thorough evaluation of SSc-related complications.
Article Abstract
This review examines the role of various imaging techniques in assessing vascular and musculoskeletal manifestations in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). Imaging modalities, such as thermography, capillaroscopy, ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, laser speckle contrast analysis, radiography, computed tomography, and MRI, offer valuable insights into SSc-related complications. Findings suggest that these techniques aid in diagnosing conditions like Raynaud phenomenon, digital ulcers, calcinosis, acro-osteolysis, and hand contractures. However, each modality has its advantages and limitations, necessitating a multimodal approach for comprehensive evaluation and accurate diagnosis of SSc-related manifestations.
