Why you should follow this online course?
Psoriatic arthritis affects approximately 10-30% of people with psoriasis, which is not uncommon in clinical practice. It can be difficult to diagnose due to its variable presentation and resemblance to other forms of arthritis. Diagnostic ultrasound plays a crucial role in identifying and assessing the extent of joint and soft tissue involvement in psoriatic arthritis, enabling clinicians to make accurate diagnoses, monitor disease progression, and guide treatment decisions. Ultrasound also allows for early detection of subclinical inflammation, which can help prevent irreversible joint damage. So, having knowledge on psoriatic arthritis and its diagnosis using ultrasound is essential for early detection and effective management of the disease. The objective of this 2-part webinar is to know in detail the value of ultrasound in Psoriatic Arthritis, how it can improve the diagnosis and follow up of the patients, which structures can be visualized using ultrasound and how that can improve the diagnosis and follow up of the patients as well as differentiating “normal response” in the joints and the entheses from the disease process.

Schedule & Topics
