Cervical spine is affected in more than a half of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Depending on the degree of damage to the individual joints and ligaments RA-related cervical spine instability takes the form of atlanto-axial subluxation, subaxial subluxation or cranial settling. In the advanced cases spinal stenosis can occur as well as spinal cord injuries with typical neurological symptoms. The identification of patients with cervical spine instability before the occurrence of neurological complications still constitutes a diagnostic challenge.The article presents the methods of cervical spine imaging with the use of plain radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). We discuss the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method and the possibility of its application in the diagnosis of cervical spine instability in RA. The knowledge of the above mentioned issues is indispensable to select an appropriate time for surgical intervention.

“…Poland does not have any radiology centre that would train rheumatologists in this area. Therefore, the attempt undertaken by a group of radiologists and rheumatologists to develop a consensus on MRI in RA and SpA which was published in this issue of Reumatologia, and before that in a leading radiology journal [ 6 ], systematizes common efforts towards making a better use of MRI in rheumatology. The first move has already been made.…”
