  • Title: [Soft tissue changes of fingers in rheumatoid arthritis. Results of low k.v. radiographs in three views (author's transl)].
    Author: Fischer E.
    Journal: Radiologe; 1979 Apr; 19(4):119-37. PubMed ID: 441303.
    Abstract:
    Based upon a large series of low k.v. radiographs of fingers in three views, the X-ray anatomy of the soft tissue of fingers is presented and soft tissue changes in joints, tendons and tendon sheaths due to rheumatoid arthritis as well as perifocal effects of the inflammatory process upon the subcutaneous tissue and the skin are described. Because of the resolution of even minute soft tissue changes it is possible to recognize the incipient stage of rheumatoid arthritis and of relapses devoid of clinical symptoms.
