AB  - Recent randomized controlled trials of traditional and newly developed therapies provide evidence that we have interventions that potentially slow or prevent structural damage in active rheumatoid arthritis, as measured using radiography. These trials also provide a unique opportunity for exploratory data analysis to generate hypotheses apropos the pathogenesis and determinants of radiographic progression and functional disability; they also facilitate further study of the methodological issues regarding imaging measurement.
