Abstract:
Individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) benefit from early diagnosis and initiation of therapy. There can be delays in both due to diagnostic uncertainties. Imaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can detect inflammation earlier than clinical examination alone in early RA patients. Furthermore, the predictive role of MRI for the future development of RA has recently been explored in 'at-risk' individuals. This review details the use of MRI in early and undifferentiated arthritis and summarises the studies to date in individuals at risk of RA.
