MRI quantification of rheumatoid arthritis: Current knowledge and future perspectives
European Journal of Radiology, 08/17/09

Boesen M et al. – Conventional radiography of the joints is considered the standard method for detecting and quantifying joint damage in RA. However, radiographs only show late disease manifestations as joint space narrowing and bone erosions, whereas it cannot detect synovitis and bone marrow oedema, i.e., inflammation in the synovium or the bone, which may be visualized by magnetic resonance imaging months to years before erosions develop. Furthermore, MRI allows earlier visualization of bone erosions than radiography.
