Monitoring system for arthritis patients : imaging approach

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the common joints. It causes pain/swelling and bone erosion/joint deformity if the condition worsens. Hence, it is important to monitor one’s condition to prevent deterioration and avoid any possible physical disabilities. Re...
