Cover Story: Increasing evidence shows the benefit of near-infrared fluorescence optical imaging (FOI, Xiralite™) for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and osteoarthritis, among others. FOI visualizes impaired microcirculation of the hands, which in most cases leads to an increased accumulation of the contrast agent ICG in the affected regions, indicative of inflammation. This work summarizes the important image features, i.e., location, shape, and timing, found in patients with various rheumatic diseases. Enhancement patterns of patients’ FOI examinations are characterized and assigned to inflammatory anatomical structures, known to be typical for the respective diseases, in their clinical diagnoses. View this paper
