Ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the most promising imaging techniques for early detection of arthritis and its damage evaluation. The authors show accurately strengths and weaknesses of each method(1,2). Joint US is especially useful in the acute phases of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), when there is active synovitis and joint effusion.
