| Abstract: | Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthropathy are two groups of inflammatory joint disease. Detection of early inflammatory joint disease is not possible with clinical examination or plain radiography, which have been the main diagnostic methods in the past. Changes detected on plain radiography are those of chronic damage caused by these conditions rather that acute inflammation, which results in delay in diagnosis and often suboptimal outcomes in these patients. |
