MRI and ultrasound in children with juvenile chronic arthritis

MRI assessment of bone marrow in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: intra- and inter-observer variability

“…Also in children with JIA, bone marrow heterogeneity is common during acute arthritis, although the significance of this finding is unclear [2,18]. Several papers [5,6,19,20] describe the normal marrow variations that occur in the growing child.…”

Ultrasonography of the temporomandibular joint: a literature review

“…US has potential advantages over MR, and some supported its accuracy in depicting effusion in larger joints 29,44 . The use of US for studying the TMJ is not common clinical practice, even though there have been encouraging findings in diagnostic agreement with MR for joint effusion and disk displacement 9 .…”

Imaging of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis

“…The ability of MRI and ultrasound to detect early, often subclinical disease by directly visualizing synovial inflammation is an advantage with regards to the prompt initiation of disease treatment [2,[9][10][11]. Both CT and fluoroscopy can also be used to guide for therapeutic interventions, as well as diagnostic procedures, such as myelography, providing additional dynamic and functional information.…”
