Overview
MRI is more sensitive than x-ray in detecting bony erosions. It can detect synovitis, inflammation of the lining of the joints and tendon abnormalities.
MRI
- MRI is more sensitive than x-ray in detecting bony erosions.
- It can detect synovitis, inflammation of the lining of the joints and tendon abnormalities.
- In addition, MRI detects areas of increased fluid (edema) in bone marrow that is a predictor for the development of bony erosions.
