This 27-minute webinar explores the critical role of imaging techniques in diagnosing and monitoring relapsing polychondritis (RP). Discover the spectrum of imaging methods available for this rare disease, from basic photography and X-rays to advanced techniques like CT scans, MRI, sonography, scintigraphy, PET scans, thermography, and combined imaging approaches. Learn which imaging modalities are established standards, which are unnecessary, and which promising techniques might enhance diagnosis in coming years. Gain practical knowledge about manifestations across different body regions, review current evidence for various imaging methods, and receive guidance on their rational application to improve confidence in diagnosing and tracking RP progression. Presented by Prof. Valentin S. Schäfer, head of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology at University Hospital Bonn and Speaker of the Center for Rare Rheumatological Diseases, with moderation by Prof. Oliver Sander from Heinrich Heine University Hospital Düsseldorf. Prof. Schäfer brings extensive expertise in imaging and immunology, particularly in psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and vasculitis, with special focus on ultrasound diagnostics.
