   Abstract : Observation methods and imaging techniques - assessments of physical exposure in repetitive work with focus on neck and upper extremities The aim of this thesis was to develop, establish and validate observation methods for exposure assessments in epidemiological studies of repetitive work. A second aim was to increase the quality of input data for biomechanical shoulder models, by reliability and validity studies of Magnetic Reso-nance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound Scanning (US).

5. 3. Musculoskeletal ultrasound : for diagnostics and treatment guidance in the orthopaedic outpatient care

   Author : Kerstin Sunding; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Accuracy;

   Abstract : Ultrasound (US) has shown to be of great value in diagnostics and treatment of injuries and chronic pain disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Today, it is considered to be a suitable method when investigating superficially located tendons. Another exciting field of application is the use of US for guidance of different invasive treatments.

6. 4. The role of X-ray imaging and musculoskeletal ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of rheumatoid arthritis

   Author : Hamed Rezaei; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease characterized by symmetric joint inflammation that often involves the small joints of the hands and feet, with progressive destruction, deformity, and disability of the joints. Small joints of the hands and feet are frequently the first to be involved in RA, which is why methods for assessment of these joints are of particular importance at the onset of RA and early stage of the disease.

7. 5. Ultrasound and fluorescence optical imaging biomarkers for early diagnosis and prediction of rheumatoid arthritis

   Author : Yogan Kisten; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Prevention of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is most desirable together with curative treatment which is, however, not yet available. Today, the correct timely diagnosis and early treatment interventions to prevent disease progression remain the best options for our patients. READ MORE
