Background/Purpose: The correct detection of bone erosions in RA by ultrasound is sometimes delicate due to the presence of pitfalls such as physiological vessel channels, grooves, sesamoids and osteophytes. Thus, ultrasound needs further standardization. Objective: To evaluate by PDUS the size and location of physiological and abnormal cortical breaks in HI and RA patients by using µCT as gold standard.

Method: Metacarpophalangeal joints (MCPJ) of both hands of 43 HI (without history of inflammatory joint disease) and 40 RA patients (disease duration > 6 months; fulfilling the new ACR/EULAR classification criteria) were examined by PDUS using a palmar, dorsal and, where possible, a lateral approach. All accessible joint facets were assessed in longitudinal and transversal planes. PDUS was performed by using an ESAOTE MyLab 70 (Genoa Italy) both in B- (linear array probe of 18 MHz) and PD-mode (10.2 MHz; PRF of 500). Cortical break was defined as a break in cortical lining detectable in two perpendicular planes. For each plane the width and the depth were recorded. Physiological and abnormal breaks were defined according to the opinion of ultrasonographer. Additionally, a µCT scan of MCPJ (2 to 5) was performed at a resolution of 82x82x82 µm voxel size of the clinically more affected hands of 26 RA patients and of the dominant hands of 17 HI. The prevalence, sensitivity and specificity of breaks as determined by PDUS and µCT were recorded and compared.

Result:  A total of 430 and 390 MCPJ were scanned by PDUS in HI and RA respectively. 48 and 81 MCPJ were additionally evaluated by µCT in HI and RA respectively. In HI, among the 1118 performed scans 226 breaks (20%) were recorded, 222 (98%) physiological (61% in the palmar side) and 4 (2%) pathological (3 in the lateral side). In RA patients 255 breaks were detected out of 1014 scans performed (25%). 143 (14%) were considered physiological (64% in the palmar side) and 112 (11%) as abnormal erosions (51% in the lateral side). All physiological breaks were considered as vessel channels, despite the absence of PD signal. Overall there was an excellent agreement between PDUS and µCT regarding the specificity of detection of physiological and abnormal breaks in HI and RA (Sp of 1 for HI and 0.95 for RA ) except for the dorsal side of MCP 2 (κ values of 0 for HI and 0.1 for RA). Sensitivity was difficult to assess due to low sample size in both groups. Table 1 shows the mean (mm) cortical physiological and abnormal breaks by PDUS and µCT in HI and RA. 

Conclusion:  Ultrasound is a valuable method for the detection of and the discrimination between abnormal (i.e. erosions) and physiological breaks in cortical bone. Predilection sides for nutritive vessels could be identified in both ultrasound and µCT. This study could work as a map for the correct detection of bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis allowing for the discrimination between pathological and physiological breaks.

 

 

超声(PDUS)能否容易检出侵蚀?比较PDUSmicroCT对正常人群和RA患者小关节生理和皮质断裂的评价

Stephanie Finzel , et al. ACR 2011. Present No: 807

背景/目的: 由于存在生理血管通道、沟槽、籽骨和骨赘等的干扰,要通过超声正确检测RA患者的骨侵蚀有时不太容易。因此,超声需要进一步规范化。摘要目的:µCT为金标准,评价PDUS检测正常人群和RA患者正常生理的和异常皮质断裂的大小和部位 。

方法: 43例正常人(没有炎症关节炎病史)和40RA患者(病程> 6个月;符合新ACR /EULAR分类标准)双手掌指关节(MCPJ)PDUS检查,采用掌侧、背侧和侧位(如可行)的方法,对所有可评估的关节面行纵向和横向检测。使用ESAOTE MyLab 70( Genoa 意大利)超声仪,同时用B形(线性阵列探针18MHz)和PD模式 (10.2MHz;PRF 500) 。皮质破坏定义为两个垂直相位同时检测到的皮质线断裂,记录各自的范围和深度。生理或病理形断裂的定义取决超声医生的观点。此外,26RA患者患侧手和17例正常人的优势手MCPJ(2 ~ 5) 进行µCT扫描,参数为82 x82x82µm。记录和比较PDUSµCT检测的皮质断裂的发生率、敏感性和特异性。

结果: PDUS共检测了430个健康人和390RA患者的MCPJµCT检测了48个健康人和81MCPJ。健康人中,在1118个层面中共发现226(20%)处断裂,222(98%)生理性的(61%在掌侧)4(2%)病理性的(3处在侧面)RA患者中, 1014扫描中发现255处断裂(25%)143(14%)被认为是生理(64%在手掌侧)112(11%)是病理性的侵蚀(51%在手侧面)。所有生理性改变都被视为血管通道,尽管缺乏PD信号。总的来说,PDUSµCT对于特异性检测健康人和RA患者生理和异常断裂有很好的一致性(Sp.在健康人为1, RA0.95),背侧MCP 2(κ值在健康人为0RA0.1)除外。由于两组样本较小, 灵敏度难以评估。表1显示PDUSµCT检测健康人和RA患者生理性和异常皮质断裂的平均值(mm)

结论:超声是检测和鉴别皮质生理和病理断裂(如侵蚀)的有效方法。营养血管的好发面通过超声和µCT都能发现。该研究可以为正确检测RA骨侵蚀提供指导,可以鉴别皮质的生理和病理性断裂。
