Early Intervention Strategies in Preventing Rheumatoid Arthritis Progression

The chapter delves into a study exploring early intervention strategies to prevent disease progression in high-risk individuals through HR PQCT and MRI scans, revealing subtle signs of inflammation and abnormalities before the onset of symptoms. It discusses the significance of timely treatment initiation based on observed MRI data, targeting specific patient criteria related to subclinical synovitis and osteitis. The focus is on the potential of initiating treatment early to intervene and mitigate the development of rheumatoid arthritis.
