“…The isolated assessment of the fi st of the dominant hand seems adequate to evaluate patients with initial RA, showing good sensitivity and specifi city for the early detection of the typical changes of the disease. 22 A new technique proposed (modifi ed "praying hands") has proved to be, as compared with the traditional technique, equally sensitive to detect changes compatible with the early stage of disease, with a great advantage regarding the duration of the test. This would allow cost reduction and an increase in the number of exams performed in a certain time period.…”

Early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis is essential for its proper management. Currently, the initial phase of rheumatoid arthritis is known to provide a window of therapeutic opportunity. Although the diagnosis is primarily clinical, the development and improvement of laboratory and imaging methods have contributed to earlier diagnosis and determination of procedures in early rheumatoid arthritis. In this article, the authors review the role of the major imaging methods used for assessing early rheumatoid arthritis, especially conventional radiography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
