You need a doctor's referral to be admitted.

Expertise and competence

Our scientific research focuses on imaging of rheumatic diseases, especially vasculitis, using positron emission tomography (PET) (the PETU study) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We also conduct active research on systemic sclerosis and carry out registry studies on various rheumatic diseases. In addition, we participate in clinical trials related to new medications.

We actively develop and maintain the national quality register for inflammatory rheumatic diseases, which helps assess treatment effectiveness, side effects, and quality of care.

We also collaborate closely with other medical specialties. We organize a monthly vasculitis meeting and regularly participate in the muscle disease group, pulmonary fibrosis meetings, and dermatology meetings.
