Investigations on the application of optical procedures for the diagnosis of rheumatism using scattered light images are only at the beginning both in terms of new image-processing methods and subsequent clinical application. For semi-automatic diagnosis using laser light, the multispectral scattere

Abstract
State‐of‐the‐art image‐processing methods offer new possibilities for diagnosing diseases using scattered light. The optical diagnosis of rheumatism is taken as an example to show that the diagnostic sensitivity can be improved using overlapped pseudocolored images of different wavelengths, provided that multispectral images are recorded to compensate for any motion‐related artefacts that occur during examination.

## Abstract ## Objective Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to be more sensitive than radiography for detecting bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Semiquantitative scoring based on visual image assessment has been introduced. However, there is considerable interest in true qu
