ISEMIR 2008

The International Society of Extremity MRI in Rheumatology (ISEMIR) Inaugural Conference

This conference addresses the role of imaging modalities, specifically MRI in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is shown that early diagnosis and aggressive treatment of RA improves patient outcomes. MRI may allow for an earlier diagnosis than that of traditional radiography, therefore optimizing the overall outcomes and quality of life for RA patients.

Where: Chicago, IL
