Presentation on theme: "Fig. 1. Sonographic-guided injection of steroid in the metacarpophalangeal joint of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (8–16 MHz linear transducer, Diasus,"— Presentation transcript:

1 Fig. 1. Sonographic-guided injection of steroid in the metacarpophalangeal joint of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (8–16 MHz linear transducer, Diasus, Dynamic Imaging Ltd, UK). The tip of the needle is clearly visualized (→), as well as the steroid after the injection (*). MSUS improves the accuracy of joint and soft tissue injection and has the potential to produce major improvements in the efficacy of this routine procedure.

2 Fig. 2. Three-dimensional sonographic image of the second metacarpophalangeal joint in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (D), compared with the longitudinal (A), transverse (B) and coronal views of the same area. Bone erosion (°) and synovial proliferation are clearly evident. m = metacarpal head; p = proximal phalanx (Voluson 730–Expert’, General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI, USA).
