Abstract

Imaging study of joint is important to differentiate various kinds of arthritis, and to evaluate the treatment response of the arthritis. Radiograph is the basic and first line imaging study of the joint, but there are overlapped imaging findings between arthritis. The objective of this review is to present a simplified approach to radiographic evaluation of arthritis and to help in making adequate decision to choose a further imaging study among ultrasonography, CT and MRI.
