Sternoclavicular joint disease in psoriatic arthritis

Ann Rheum Dis. 1992 Mar;51(3):372-4. doi: 10.1136/ard.51.3.372.

Abstract

The radiological and tomographic aspects of the sternoclavicular joint were examined in 10 patients with psoriatic arthritis to evaluate better how this joint was affected using different radiological techniques. Imaging of the sternoclavicular joint showed that computed tomography provides a better visualisation of erosions, subchondral cysts, and sclerosis than standard radiography and conventional linear tomography.
