OBJECTIVESThis study was undertaken to examine the role of magneticresonance imaging (MRI) in the management of patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA).METHODSA Medline search was performed to identify all publications pertainingto MRI in JRA. Further searches and identification of articles from bibliographies identified articles pertaining to plain radiograph imaging in JRA and MRI in adult rheumatoid arthritis.RESULTSStudies in both children and adults have shown superiority of MRI toplain radiography in detecting synovial hypertrophy and articular cartilage abnormalities. Several studies in adults have shown a good correlation of MR images with gross anatomic as well as histological findings at arthroscopy. Biochemical changes that occur before structural changes within the joint may even be detectable with magnetic resonance spectroscopy.CONCLUSIONSMRI holds promise for the assessment of disease progression inJRA and may be useful in serial evaluation, as in clinical trials.
