Radioisotope scanning using a gamma camera. 1978

H Berry, and J J Barrett, and A Ford-Hutchinson, and E B Hamilton

Sixteen outpatients with rheumatoid arthritis took part in a placebo controlled double-blind crossover study. In addition to conventional measurements, a radioactive index was measured using a gamma camera that indicated a radioactive count over the measured joints and a comparable area of normal adjacent bone. This index showed poor correlation with other conventional measurements of change in the clinical trial.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D002986 Clinical Trials as Topic Works about pre-planned studies of the safety, efficacy, or optimum dosage schedule (if appropriate) of one or more diagnostic, therapeutic, or prophylactic drugs, devices, or techniques selected according to predetermined criteria of eligibility and observed for predefined evidence of favorable and unfavorable effects. This concept includes clinical trials conducted both in the U.S. and in other countries. Clinical Trial as Topic

D001172 Arthritis, Rheumatoid A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures.
