Brief Summary: Since biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs bDMARDs are available in rheumatoid arthritis RA strategy an emerging question is the definition of remission in RA Today some criteria were already proposed and the last one was proposed in 2011

All these criteria integrated only clinical criteria without imaging assessment In this context ultrasound joint is daily performed without definition of remission A discrepancy exists between clinical remission and persistence of active disease with ultrasound joint presence of a Doppler effect indicating inflammation and the risk of progression of joint damage A definition of remission in RA could include erosions regression in subchondral bone at best measured by high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography HR-pQCT

The main hypothesis is that the reduction of erosion size assessed by HR-pQCT will be observed only in the absence of local inflammation measured by Doppler ultrasound in the erosion

Tumor Necrosis Factor TNF blockers have strongly improved RA therapy outcome in terms of clinical improvement and structural damage progression of radiographic lesions Recent data showed that there could be joint bone rebuilt in case of inflammation suppression HR-pQCT is a new technique emerging for bone erosions assessment in RA Erosions size and volume could be reduced with anti-TNF but with a large interindividual variability There was no correlation between the activity of clinical or ultrasound synovium and evolution of erosion HR-pQCT
