Erosions, soft-tissue swelling, and osteoporosis were graded and a radiographic diagnosis was recorded for each set of films. The results indicate that detection of erosive disease is significantly improved with fine-detail radiography in patients with early or minimal rheumatoid arthritis and that improved diagnostic capability is possible with this technique.Article HistoryPublished in print: July 1974 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByDer Radiologe, Vol. 61, No. 4Journal of Orthopaedic Science, Vol. 8, No. 4Arthritis & Rheumatism, Vol. 41, No. 9Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, Vol. 21, No. 2Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, Vol. 23, No. 2Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, Vol. 17, No. 3Radiologic Clinics of North America, Vol. 25, No. 6Use of a binary search pattern and discriminator analysis in the radiologic diagnosis of arthritisSeminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, Vol. 16, No. 2Radiologic assessment of bone and joint disease.
