| Oral 0174 | Thursday, 12th June 2025 10:30 – 10:40 CEST Clinical Abstract Sessions: From Early Detection to Complex Management – New Insights in Psoriatic Arthritis Author: G. Corte (Germany) Title: Synovial and enthesial fibroblast activation detected by 68Ga-FAPI-04-PET/CT predicts the development of Psoriatic Arthritis in patients with Psoriasis and arthralgia Fibroblast activation detected by ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT at synovio-entheseal sites is associated with a ~6-fold higher risk of developing PsA in PsO patients with arthralgia, suggesting its potential as a predictive imaging biomarker for progression. |
| Poster 0183 | Thursday, 12th June 2025 15:03 – 15:09 CEST Clinical Poster Tours: Ultrasound in Rheumatoid Arthritis Author: P, Mandl (Austria) Title: Global OMERACT/EULAR ultrasound damage scoring system in rheumatoid arthritis The OMERACT/EULAR ultrasound damage scoring system (GLOEDS) demonstrated good to excellent intra-observer and moderate inter-observer reliability for assessing hyaline cartilage change, bone erosion, and joint malalignment. |
| Oral 0310 | Friday, 13th June 2025 11:00 – 11:10 CEST Clinical Abstract Sessions: Imaging in Spondyloarthritis Author: G, Ayan (Türkiye) Title: Differences in structural lesions of the spine between patients with early axSpA and non-axSpA chronic back pain: 2-year results of the SPACE Cohort Over 2 years, patients with early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) showed minimal structural progression on conventional radiography (CR) but a significant increase in spinal fat lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), distinguishing them from non-axSpA chronic back pain (CBP) patients and suggesting fat lesions as potential early markers of disease progression. |
| Oral 0345 | Friday, 13th June 2025 11:30 – 11:40 CEST Clinical Abstract Sessions: The view on the vessel – Diagnostic and Imaging Procedures in Large Vessel Vasculitis and Polymyalgia rheumatica Author: J, Molina-Collada (Spain) Title: Prognostic Value of Quantifying Vascular Inflammation through Ultrasound in Patients with Giant Cell Arteritis: Interim Analysis of the MAGiCUS Study In the Monitoring Activity of Giant Cell Arteritis through Ultrasound (MAGiCUS) project, quantifying vascular inflammation using the OMERACT GCA Ultrasonographic Score (OGUS) showed prognostic value, with higher baseline scores and lack of normalization at 3 months predicting an increased risk of future relapse in GCA patients. |
