Embodiment Construction

[0042] During a clinical physical examination, a rheumatologist is able to observe and identify visible physical features of a patient's hand that are associated with different types of arthritis in the hand. For example:

[0043] - Bone swelling corresponding to bony growths or nodules present at the knuckles is typical of osteoarthritis;

[0044] - soft tissue swelling corresponding to tendon or ligament swelling in the joints of the hand is typical of inflammatory arthritis;

[0045] - Evidence of osteoarthritis is often also observed at the carpal metacarpal (CMC) joint at the base of the thumb and at the distal interphalangeal (DIP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and interphalangeal (IP) joints of the thumb;

[0046] - Rheumatoid arthritis can be observed at the wrist, metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints;

[0047] - Swelling of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint can be seen in patients with osteoarthritis (bone swelling) as well as...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for determining the likelihood that at least one type of arthritis is present in a hand of a patient, the method comprising: acquiring an image of the hand of the patient; processing the hand image to determine at least one first predictor indicative of the presence or absence of arthritis in the hand based on the presence or absence of a plurality of recognizable hand features in the hand image, the recognizable hand features including visible physical hand features useful for diagnosing arthritis in the hand; receiving patient information from the patient, the patient information including a plurality of responses to a plurality of respective questions related to diagnosing arthritis at the hand; and determining a likelihood that at least one type of arthritis is present in the hand by using the at least one first predicted value and the patient information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for determining the likelihood of the presence of at least one type of arthritis in a patient's hand, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a method for determining the likelihood that a patient has at least one type of arthritis in his / her hand Approaches to the likelihood of suffering from osteoarthritis and / or inflammatory arthritis. Background technique [0002] Different types of arthritis can affect an individual's hands and cause joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and deformity. The most common forms of arthritis in the hands are osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis, with the latter group including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis are forms of autoimmune disease that can cause joint damage and disability. Early detection and treatment has been shown to lead to better outcomes for patients, although many patients experience significan...
