Article Abstract

The recent introduction of effective therapies in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) has increased the demand for efficient tools for diagnosis, monitoring and prognostication of PsA, and has caused an increased research effort within imaging in this disease. The clinical appearance of PsA is very diverse, involving the spine, sacroiliac joints, peripheral joints and/or entheses, and accordingly imaging findings vary. In the present paper, we present a review of the recent advances in imaging in PsA, focusing primarily on ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging of peripheral disease manifestations.
