Abstract
The presence of joint inflammation in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients can be made by physical examination and confirmed by imaging. The discrepancy between physical examination and MRI for evaluation of synovitis in a target joint is possibly explained by the fact that clinical measures mostly reflect overall disease activity instead of measures specific for the joint imaged by MRI.

Diagnostic accuracy of the local physical examination parameters for detection of arthritis was determined with MRI as reference standard
