title: [Quantitative imaging in rheumatoid arthritis: from scoring to measurement].
abstract: The need of clinical sciences to measure therapy effects on chronic illness led to development, evaluation, and publication of several radiological methods to monitor disease progression of rheumatic diseases. This review article explains the basics and background of scoring and measurement. The radiologist thus learns to report more compactly and to communicate the results more specifically.
