Overview
Musculoskeletal MRI can identify and characterize subclinical synovial inflammation and joint damage with a greater precision than X-rays. Also cardiac MRI is complementary for diagnosing pulmonary arterial hypertension.
MRI
- In MCTD, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of joint is better than conventional radiology because of its multiplanar capacity and higher sensitivity.[1]
- Musculoskeletal MRI can identify and characterize subclinical synovial inflammation and joint damage with a greater precision than X-rays.[2]
- Cardiac MRI is complementary for diagnosing pulmonary arterial hypertension.[3]
