Advances in ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have provided new methods for evaluating early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Their diagnostic properties in terms of detecting primary pathology of RA (i.e., erosions, bone changes, synovitis, tenosynovitis, and effusion) are reviewed. High-resolution US plays a significant role in therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. MRI also assists in the understanding of RA pathogenesis and joint mechanics.
超声（US）和磁共振成像（MRI）技术的进步为评估早期类风湿性关节炎（RA）提供了新方法。本文综述了它们在检测RA原发性病变（即侵蚀、骨质改变、滑膜炎、腱鞘炎和积液）方面的诊断特性。高分辨率超声在治疗和诊断过程中发挥着重要作用。MRI也有助于理解RA的发病机制和关节力学。
