To examine rheumatoid arthritis ( RA ) patients hand MRI, including wrist and MCP joints and assess its role as a predictor of X - ray damage and bone loss. Patients and methods: 54 patients fulfilled ACR criteria for RA and were followed up prospectively 2 years. All patients had baseline bone density(BMD) by dual X - ray absorptiometry (DXA) ,hand MRI and ra-diographic assessment. MRI was scored using the OMERACT RA MRI scoring system. which MRIs of the domi-

To analyse the relation between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes at the wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints and those of inflammatory and bone turnover markers. Methods: MRI scans on dominant hand were obtained in 54 patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) at baseline. Patients were followed up prospectively 3 years. Further Scans were obtained at 1 year(29 patients), 2 years(35 patients) and 3 years(19 patients). The MRI films were read by two trained readers and were
