    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology and Arthrology
    • Diagnostic Medicine

    Background:

    • Modern rheumatology emphasizes arthrology, focusing on joint diseases.
    • Accurate diagnosis requires differentiating arthralgia from objective arthritic syndromes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline diagnostic principles in rheumatology.
    • To review current and future diagnostic modalities for joint conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical assessment including anamnesis and physical examination.
    • Laboratory diagnostics.
    • Radiological imaging (X-ray).
    • Review of articular scintigraphy, arthroscopy, and thermography.
    • Consideration of genetic research.

    Main Results:

    • A tentative diagnosis is often achievable through initial clinical evaluation.
    • Laboratory and X-ray diagnostics are crucial for confirming diagnoses.
    • Various imaging and genetic techniques offer further diagnostic insights.

    Conclusions:

    • A systematic approach combining clinical evaluation with targeted diagnostics is essential in rheumatology.
    • Advanced techniques like scintigraphy, arthroscopy, thermography, and genetic research hold significant diagnostic potential.
