title: [The complex assessment of local inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis patients].
abstract: Application of a complex of clinical, thermography and radionuclide methods in 79 patients with rheumatoid arthritis has demonstrated high sensitivity of scintigraphy with the use of osteotropic radiopharmaceuticals (99mTc-pyrophosphate, 99mTc-phosphone) as well as a possibility of diagnosing preclinical injuries to the joints. The thermography and scintigraphic parameters depended on the degree of inflammation, permitting an objective evaluation of the treatment effect.
