Frequency of Arthritis-Like MRI Findings in the Forefeet of Healthy Volunteers Versus Patients With Symptomatic Rheumatoid Arthritis or Psoriatic Arthritis.

Objective: The objective of the present study is to evaluate arthritis-like findings on MRI studies of the forefeet of healthy volunteers versus patients with symptomatic rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Materials And Methods: Two observers analyzed MR images of the forefeet of 31 healthy volunteers, 30 patients with symptomatic RA, and 30 patients with symptomatic PsA, to identify MRI patterns of RA or PsA (e.g.

Whole Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features in Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis in Conjunction with Clinical Variables to Whole Body MRI and Clinical Variables in Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Objective: Discrimination of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) can be challenging. Usefulness of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) in diagnosing spondyloarthritis has been recently proved. We assessed the value of clinical variables alone and in combination with WB-MRI to distinguish between DISH and AS.
