简要总结
MRI has been shown to be helpful in identifying patients who present with undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis who will develop RA within a one year follow up period. The absence of other clinically apparent symptoms often causes delays in diagnosis of RA. The use of the MRI in conjunction with the physical examination has the potential to reduce diagnostic delay. Earlier diagnosis would allow for earlier treatment implementation for better patient outcomes.
