Highlights:
MRI in patients with suspected inflammatory arthritis allows for earlier therapy and slows disease progression
TALK TITLE
Inflammatory Arthritis
TARGET AUDIENCE
Radiologists, technologists, researchers
OUTCOME/OBJECTIVES
Understand the role of MRI in clinical evaluation of inflammatory arthritis
PURPOSE
To show case examples of MRI used for evaluation of inflammatory arthritis
METHODS
Review current recommendations form the American College of Rheumatology and EULAR
RESULTS
Role of MRI is expanding
DISCUSSION
MRI is competing with ultrasound
Plain films remain an important of patient management
CONCLUSION
MRI interpretation is becoming more standardized
There are other diagnosis besides Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis
Infection should always be excluded
