Traditionally, conventional radiography has been used to identify the structural damage associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). As other modalities have developed, however, the practice of assessing and monitoring JIA with radiographs has been questioned.
The purpose of this study was to examine the current best practices for imaging JIA and to assess various imaging modalities.
A literature review was conducted to examine to what extent radiography, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) aid in diagnosing and managing JIA, and the benefits and limitations of each modality.
No single modality meets every imaging need at this time, but methods for detecting JIA are dramatically improving. Diagnostic radiography, MR imaging, ultrasonography and CT all play an important role in diagnosing or monitoring JIA.
传统上，常规放射照相术一直用于识别与幼年特发性关节炎（JIA）相关的结构损伤。然而，随着其他检查手段的发展，使用X光片评估和监测JIA的做法受到了质疑。
本研究的目的是探讨目前对JIA进行成像的最佳做法，并评估各种成像方式。
进行了一项文献综述，以研究放射照相术、磁共振（MR）成像、超声检查和计算机断层扫描（CT）在JIA诊断和管理中的辅助程度，以及每种检查方式的优缺点。
目前没有单一的检查方式能满足所有成像需求，但检测JIA的方法正在显著改进。诊断性放射照相术、MR成像、超声检查和CT在JIA的诊断或监测中都发挥着重要作用。
