In the last decade, musculoskeletal imaging has rapidly expanded largely due to the imaging capabilities of magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound. These modalities have increased the clinical understanding and mechanisms of arthritis and are assuming increasing importance in the diagnosis of arthritis; more recently, they have been used to monitor therapy. This chapter reviews recent imaging studies relevant to rheumatic diseases.
在过去十年中,肌肉骨骼成像技术迅速发展,这主要归功于磁共振成像和超声的成像能力。这些检查方式增进了我们对关节炎的临床认识和发病机制的了解,在关节炎的诊断中发挥着越来越重要的作用;最近,它们还被用于监测治疗效果。本章回顾了与风湿性疾病相关的近期影像学研究。
