Whereas in a systemic condition some involvement of asymptomatic joints is plausible, one would not expect such thing in arthrosis as there is no stimulus in unaffected joints. We investigated this phenomenon with ICG-based optical imaging. Material und Methodik: Nine patients (mean age 56,2a, 3 male, 5 with arthrosis) were clinically examined by an expert rheumatologist and underwent optical imaging (Xiralite X4, Mivenion, Berlin, Germany) after injection of ICG (Puls…
