RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Vinall, Phil T1 Imaging and Painful Joints: Which Technology is Most Appropriate? JF MD Conference Express YR 2007 FD SAGE Publications VO 7 IS 4 SP 17 OP 17 DO 10.1177/155989770700700413 UL http://mdc.sagepub.com/content/7/4/17.abstract AB Although conventional radiology is often used as the first-line imaging modality in the evaluation of the painful joint, other technologies such as ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging may provide more useful information for the clinician in certain settings. It is of course important to note that the relationship between pain and imaging-detected structural pathology is not always well understood.
