Overview
MRI is used for the assessment of bursitis, synovitis, and tenosynovitis among patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). MRI is more sensitive than ultrasonography for the evaluation of iliopsoas bursitis and hip synovitis.[1] A study has demonstrated that MRI of the shoulders facilitates the proper diagnosis in patients with the typical proximal symptoms of PMR with normal ESR values.[2]
