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