Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Diagnosis of Rheumatic Diseases of the Hand

Joints of the hands are the target organs for different nosologic forms of rheumatic diseases. The nature of lesions, their localization and prevalence, provide a differential diagnosis between the various forms of rheumatic diseases. Radiography, as a standardized method of visualization in rheumatic diseases has low sensitivity in detecting early to erosive manifestations. Magnetic resonance imaging has the advantage in comparison with the X-ray in the simultaneous determination of the state of bone and soft tissue intra-articular structures including the presence or absence of bone erosions in the earlier stages of the disease. The article presents the main features of the most common rheumatic diseases that can be detected by magnetic resonance tomography of the hand.
