Clinico radiological correl arthropathy-A prospective study

Abstract

Abstract Psoriatic arthropathy [PsA] is one of the common seronegative spondyloarthropathies. an association between psoriasis and joint involvement first made when, apart from the clinical findings, diagnosis of PsA was based mainly on conventional radiography. In the recent times, imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and ultrasonography [USG] have been increasingly used in the diagnosis and management of PsA. . The interpretations provide additional clues to the pathogenesis of this progressive and sometimes mutilating disease. A positive radiological finding usin can detect the pathology much earlier. As is well agreed upon, early detection of articular and peri will help timely initiation of appropriate th joint destruction. USG ismore effective than X ray and less expensive than and having more or less equal diagnostic potential as MRI. USG is areliable investigatory tool freely av diagnosis and follow up of patients with Ps
