The options for peripheral joint imaging in inflammatory joint diseases have increased markedly over the last few years. High-frequency ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in particular appear to have a large potential in the diagnosis, monitoring, and prognostication of these diseases. However, the new methods have still to be fully validated. In clinical practice, it is essential to use a validated method, generally conventional radiography, as the first "basic" imaging modality. As newer methods may provide significant additional information, it is also very important that the value of these is evaluated in scientific studies. This article reviews current knowledge of conventional radiography, computer tomography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of peripheral joints in inflammatory joint diseases.
在过去几年中，炎症性关节疾病的外周关节成像选择显著增加。特别是高频超声和磁共振成像在这些疾病的诊断、监测和预后评估方面似乎具有很大潜力。然而，这些新方法仍有待充分验证。在临床实践中，使用经过验证的方法（通常是传统放射摄影）作为首个“基础”成像方式至关重要。由于更新的方法可能会提供重要的额外信息，因此在科学研究中评估这些方法的价值也非常重要。本文综述了传统放射摄影、计算机断层扫描、超声和磁共振成像在炎症性关节疾病外周关节评估方面的现有知识。
