A 2016 study conducted a review in Small Joint Disease (Rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Psoriatic arthritis, Gout). Ultrasonography (USG) vs. X-ray was evaluated. High-resolution ultrasonography serves as a valuable first-line tool for the early detection, differential diagnosis, and follow-up of small joint pathologies such as synovitis and bone erosions.
