Clinical Trial: Surface Topography and Radiographic Spinal Damage in Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis

U.S., Oct. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07855393) titled 'Surface Topography and Radiographic Spinal Damage in Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis' on Sept. 28.

Brief Summary: Radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) causes progressive structural damage of the spine, conventionally quantified on lateral cervical and lumbar radiographs using the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS). Repeated radiography entails cumulative radiation exposure, substantial inter-reader variability and low sensitivity in early disease. DIERS Formetric 4D surface topography provides radiation-free three-dimensional modelling of the spine and pelvis. The association between sagittal ba...
