New Guideline Proposed for Ultrasound in Psoriatic & Rheumatoid Arthritis

The ACR places a high priority on developing methodologically rigorous, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines that take into consideration the expertise and viewpoints of multiple stakeholders in a transparent fashion. A current ACR project on musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) will be discussed in the ACR Convergence 2024 session, Proposed ACR Guidance for Use of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Rheumatoid and Psoriatic Arthritis, on Saturday, Nov. 16.

In the session, Veena K. Ranganath, MD, MS, a clinical professor in the UCLA Department of Medicine/Computational Medicine within the Division of Rheumatology, will discuss the methodology used to develop the guideline.

Catherine Bakewell, MD, RhMSUS, who is active in research, including projects funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), focusing on musculoskeletal ultrasound, will discuss the proposed guidance for MSUS related to psoriatic arthritis.
