Popis: Objectives To report the discrepancies and agreements between US, MRI and radiography of the hand in PsA, and to compare the sensitivity and specificity of US and radiography to MRI as the gold standard imaging study in PsA. Methods All of the 100 prospectively recruited consecutive PsA patients underwent clinical assessment and concomitant radiographic, US and MRI studies of the MCP, PIP and DIP joints of one hand. Synovitis, flexor tenosynovitis, extensor paratenonitis, erosions and bone proliferations were identified and scored. All readers were blinded to clinical data, and agreement was calculated based on prevalence-adjusted bias-adjusted kappa (PABAK). Results The prevalence of synovitis, flexor tenosynovitis, extensor paratenonitis and erosions was similar for US and MRI, while that of bone proliferation was significantly increased in US and radiography compared with MRI (P Conclusion There is very good agreement between US and MRI for the detection of inflammatory changes in finger joints in PsA. US, radiography and MRI have a good-to-very good agreement for destructive changes.
