Overview
Ultrasound is helpful in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of rheumatoid arthritis include tenosynovitis, bursitis, baker's cyst, and inflammation of synovium. Therapeutic use of ultrasound is guidance of corticosteroid injection in the joint and fluid aspiration from the joint effusion.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is helpful in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of rheumatoid arthritis include:[1][2]
- Inflammation of synovium
- Tenosynovitis- Earliest manifestation is involvement of extensor carpi ulnaris tendon which can lead to erosion of ulnar styloid process
- Bursitis
- Baker's cyst
Therapeutic uses of ultrasound in rheumatoid arthritis may include:
- Guiding corticosteroid injection into the joint
- Fluid aspiration from the joint effusion
