Sažetak

Since biologics have been introduced for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis a need for reliable imaging modality to assess treatment efficacy have been opened. In the last years through technological advances diagnostic ultrasound has become highly sensitive and specific method for detection of inflammatory and destructive changes in rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, high resolution ultrasound enhanced by power Doppler has been recognized in clinical studies and in every day work as useful method for assessment of disease activity. Here we give special interest in application of diagnostic ultrasound enhanced by power Doppler for assessment of inflammatory activity, therapeutic decision and monitoring to attain remission in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
