dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of direct magnification radiographs in comparison to optically magnified conventional radiographs in the diagnosis of erosive changes and joint space narrowing seen in the hand and wrists of rheumatoid arthritis patients. In thirty one rheumatoid arthritis patients (26 women and 5 men) dominant hand conventional radiographs magnified with a hand lens and direct magnified radiographs (1.5X) using the standart magnification equipment of the mammography unit were compared. A scoring system was used in the evaluation of erosive changes and joint space narrowings. Total scores of both erosions (p<0.0001) and joint space narrowing (p<0.02) were significantly higher in direct magnification radiographs compared to optically magnified conventional radiographs. In early rheumatoid patients, with a disease duration of less than one year, total score of erosions was significantly higher in direct magnification technique compared to optical magnification technique (p<0.001). Our findings revealed that, direct magnification radiographs obtained using standart magnification equipment of the mammographv unit were superior to opticallv magnified conventional radiographs in demonstrating erosive changes particularly in the hands and wrists of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis.en_US
