ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new imaging method called photon-counting detector computed tomography (CT) to help diagnose different types of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and crystal arthropathies. These kinds of arthritis can cause pain and swelling in the joints, and finding the right diagnosis is important for effective treatment. The researchers aim to see if this new imaging technique can improve how doctors identify these conditions.

To participate in the trial, you need to be between 18 and 100 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of one of the specified types of arthritis. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are not eligible. If you join the study, you will undergo scans using the new imaging method, and your experiences will help researchers understand its effectiveness. This trial is currently looking for participants, and your involvement could contribute to better ways of diagnosing arthritis in the future.
