Description
Joint-space narrowing, erosions, synovitis, and bone inflammation are organised into a pattern-based diagnostic approach. Practical imaging examples compare degenerative and inflammatory disease across rheumatoid, psoriatic, reactive, septic, and axial spondyloarthritis.
Learning Objectives
- Distinguish degenerative from inflammatory joint disease using a structured imaging approach.
- Recognise early MRI and ultrasound findings of rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritides.
- Differentiate major patterns of peripheral and axial inflammatory arthritis.
- Recognise septic arthritis and other infectious joint disorders that require urgent diagnosis.
- Assess sacroiliac and spinal manifestations of spondyloarthritis.
