Bony changes in forty-four knees of patients with clinically established rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were examined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and plain film radiography. In all cases MRI was clearly superior to radiographs, demonstrating 25 marginal erosions and 42 subchondral cysts, while

## Abstract ## Objective To compare ultrasonography (US) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), conventional radiography, and clinical examination in the evaluation of bone destruction and signs of inflammation in the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ##
## Abstract ## Objective One of the major aims of therapy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is to prevent erosive disease and subsequent disability. One of the important goals of therapy assessment must therefore be the accurate measurement of damage progression. We undertook this study to assess the f
