This year in the month of July we strive for Juvenile Arthritis Awareness. This campaign works to raise awareness and share resources with those affected. It is reported that 16-150 out of 100,000 children are diagnosed with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). This condition is monitored with the use of medical imaging, mainly with x-ray systems or MRI technologies. Arthritis in kids not only affects the joints but other things like the eyes, the skin, and the gastrointestinal tract as well. Their immune system attacks the joints, causing swelling, stiffness, and other complications.

At Medilab Global, we specialize in Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Sales and we focus on Pre-owned imaging equipment and Refurbished Medical Imaging Equipment such as Pre-owned MRI. We provide medical imaging resources to facilities looking to buy used radiology equipment. We understand how important it is to help doctors diagnose this condition and we are proud to be in the top medical imaging companies that help this cause.

Juvenile arthritis can last months, years, or a lifetime. This disease will develop over time into a deeper stage of arthritis depending on the immune system of the patient. This disease can be controlled by medication and other treatments and children can even go into remission in different stages or for a lifetime. If any children in your family are diagnosed, it is important to have early screening with tests such as a DEXA scan for siblings and even cousins, as genes can also determine risk.

Juvenile arthritis sometimes goes undiagnosed due to the misunderstanding of symptoms. By spreading awareness and supporting local foundations and groups we can make sure this disease does not go unnoticed. Volunteering and participating in trials can also help raise awareness and tackle this issue.
