Winners of the 2016 American College of Rheumatology Annual Image Competition

The mission of the Image Library Subcommittee is to provide ACR members, as well as the entire medical community, access to a wide variety of clinical images to help educators effectively present the manifestations of the rheumatologic diseases. Additionally, our images have been widely used in peer-reviewed publications and textbooks. Since its inception, the ACR Image Library has become the preeminent collection devoted to the rheumatologic diseases. The collection is a dynamic one, changing yearly because of submissions from the medical community. The Image Library Subcommittee meets annually to review these new images and awards prizes based on the panel’s consensus. Additionally, many nonwinners are introduced into the image library; greatly enhancing the collection. For the 2016 competition, more than 100 entries were received. The subcommittee carefully evaluates each entry. Winners, as well as those images selected for inclusion, are chosen based on image quality and educational value. The 2016 grand prize winner was a series of images showing coronary and other aneurysms in a patient with polyarteritis nodosa (Figure 1). In the stillimage category, the winner was a depiction of pachyderma in a patient with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (Figure 2). The case study category winner was a series of radiographic and histologic images showing nodal and extranodal involvement in a girl with RosaiDorfman disease (Figure 3).
