Preliminary validation of a web-based MRI scoring system for children with chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (ChRonic nonbacterial Osteomyelitis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scoring: CROMRIS).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ChRonic nonbacterial Osteomyelitis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scoring (CROMRIS) tool was developed to assess specific characteristics of bone and soft tissue inflammation on MR images of patients with CNO; however, this tool was labor intensive to utilize. We aimed (1) to refine and adapt this scoring method, (2) to assess the usability of this web-based CROMRIS system among radiologists and (3) to evaluate the absolute agreement of the components and summary CROMRIS scores at each body site, and the interrater reliability.

Methods

We used a qualitative, user-centered design approach involving software developers, rheumatologists, radiologists, and a patient artist to adapt the paper-based scoring system to a web-based prototype that was further refined by mon
