Early diagnosis and treatment improves outcomes for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Studies have shown that musculoskeletal ultrasound is more sensitive than clinical examination in identifying synovitis. This review aims to address the role of ultrasound in identifying (1) patients with early inflammatory arthritis (IA) at risk of progression to RA and (2) those without clinical synovitis at risk of progression to early IA and therefore early RA.
早期诊断和治疗可改善类风湿关节炎（RA）患者的预后。研究表明，肌肉骨骼超声在识别滑膜炎方面比临床检查更敏感。本综述旨在探讨超声在以下方面的作用：（1）识别有进展为 RA 风险的早期炎症性关节炎（IA）患者；（2）识别无临床滑膜炎但有进展为早期 IA 进而早期 RA 风险的患者。
