    Hello,

    We were unsure if this was a question, or a request, as it is hard to tell from the post. 

     There is currently no worksheet for ultrasound imaging of RA that is published by the ASA.  

    At the recent ASA 2025 conference (Saturday afternoon), there was a very good MSK session on ultrasound imaging of arthritis, and the discussions from this session indicated that the development of a worksheet to guide sonographers regarding the sonographic assessment of RA would be ideal and is required.  So, your comment/question is timely.

    Such a worksheet, however, is best developed by working with a sub-group of the national rheumatology professional body.  

    The ASA MSK SIG will investigate developing this, however, it may take a while as the evidence-base for its development will need to be researched first.

    Thanks

    Michelle (Chair ASA MSK SIG)
