Abstract

This article gives a short overview of the development and characteristics of the OMERACT rheumatoid arthritis MRI scoring system (RAMRIS), followed by an introduction to the use of the EULAR-OMERACT rheumatoid arthritis MRI reference image atlas. With this atlas, MRIs of wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis can be scored for synovitis, bone oedema, and bone erosion, guided by standard reference images.

Examples of score sheets that can be used for scoring (A) metacarpophalangeal and (B) wrist joints using the OMERACT 2002 rheumatoid arthritis magnetic resonance imaging scoring system (RAMRIS). The layout of the score sheet can be modified—for example, according to the features and joints that are to be examined in a specific patient material.
