Development and Validation of a Semiautomated Method to Measure Erosion Volume in Inflammatory Arthritis by Computed Tomography Scanning

Valid measurement of erosion volume in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will facilitate the testing of treatments that may help to heal erosion. This study was undertaken to develop and validate a software method to measure erosion volume on computed tomography (CT) scans of the hand and wrist.
