Welcome to Rheumatology Radiology e-learning module
This is a self-learning rheumatology radiology module which brings the musculoskeletal radiologist to you.
Radiology plays a significant role in establishing diagnosis by detection of synovitis, enthesitis, erosions, sclerosis, among others. Imaging not only helps monitor disease activity, it also helps guide arthrocentesis, therapy and patient stratification.
