Quantitative macroradiography of patients with hand and knee OA, employing standardized radiographic and mensural procedures, permit: accurate and reproducible measurements of all radiographic features. significant changes in JSW and osteophyte number and size to be detected within as short a period as 18 months. therapeutic effects upon articular cartilage to be determined from changes in JSW. a better understanding of the disease process from an evaluation of the relative changes in the different radiographic features of OA.
采用标准化的放射照相和测量程序，对手部和膝部骨关节炎患者进行定量宏观放射照相，可以：对所有放射照相特征进行准确且可重复的测量。在短短18个月内检测到关节间隙宽度（JSW）、骨赘数量和大小的显著变化。根据关节间隙宽度的变化确定对关节软骨的治疗效果。通过评估骨关节炎不同放射照相特征的相对变化，更好地了解疾病进程。
