Thermal cameras effective in detecting rheumatoid arthritis.

A new study, published today in Scientific Reports, highlights that thermal imaging has the potential to become an important method to assess Rheumatoid Arthritis. Results of the study, carried out with 82 participants, confirm that both palm and finger temperature increase significantly in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

RA patients were examined by two rheumatologists. A subset of these participants underwent diagnostic ultrasonography by a trained rheumatologist in order to ensure that the recruited participants had no active signs of synovitis in their hands and wrists.

This makes sense , when my ra is active the inflammation makes the swollen joints affected really warm. In fact the last ultra sound I had when having a flare up the gel started to melt x
