title: Imaging in rheumatology in 2013. From images to data to theory.
abstract: 2013 has witnessed the maturation of imaging science with rheumatology research, in part due to large, public databases. Using imaging in osteoarthritis (OA) as an example, breakthroughs include further elucidation of the relationship between obesity and OA, and identification of the importance of bone and meniscus shape in OA development.
