Abstract
Better evaluation of disease inflammatory activity and structural progression and research of predictive factors of bone erosion have led to improve monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are more sensitive than clinical examination to detect synovitis, and than X-rays to detect bone erosions. Their external validity, reliability and sensitivity to change are satisfactory in RA. While the Rheumatoid Arthritis MRI Score (RAMRIS) score in MRI has been validated and appears as the score of reference for MRI reading in RA, no US score has obtained consensus, even though several US scoring systems have been proposed.
