Computer aided vertebral visualization and analysis: a methodology using the sand rat, a small animal model of disc degeneration.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Most composite indices of disease activity and response criteria in RA have been validated and compared in clinical trials rather than routine care. We therefore wanted to compare the performance of the DAS28, SDAI and CDAI activity indices, their activity states, their response criteria, and also compare wi...
