Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease causing joint inflammation and damage, with research focusing on improving diagnosis and monitoring disease progression. Current efforts utilize machine learning, particularly deep learning models (like UNETs and Random Forests) and image analysis techniques, to automate the scoring of radiographic images (e.g., hand, spinal X-rays) and analyze other data sources such as blood tests and patient records, thereby improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. These advancements hold significant promise for streamlining clinical workflows, enabling earlier and more precise interventions, and ultimately improving patient outcomes.
