Structural damage and inflammation on radiographs or magnetic resonance imaging are associated with cortical interruptions on high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography: a study in finger joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and healthy subjects.

CONCLUSION: Structural damage and inflammatory features on MRI and radiographs are associated with cortical interruptions on HR-pQCT. No association between other risk factors and cortical interruptions was demonstrated.
