Abstract

Objective

To evaluate and compare the diagnostic test accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) for bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients for a specific and efficient diagnostic recommendation.

Method

To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, the sensitivity, specificity, area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio of MRI and US for detecting bone erosion were calculated. Subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the performance of these values with different standard references when compared with types of machines and scanning positions.

Results

Data from 26 articles were extracted for calculation. The comprehensive values of sensitivity and specificity were 0.77 (95% CI 0.63, 0.87)/0.89 (95% CI 0.80, 0.95) and 0.61 (95% CI 0.43, 0.77)/0.95 (95% CI 0.88, 0.98) for MRI and US, respectively. The 1.5-T Signa MRI system, General Electric© (sensitivity 0.66; specificity 0.90), and different models of LOGIQ US units and General Electric© (sensitivity 0.66; specificity 0.91) had better diagnostic capability to detect bone erosion, while the 2nd metacarpophalangeal joint (sensitivity 0.70; specificity 0.98) showed the best diagnostic performance among the hand joints with US.

Conclusions

Neither MRI nor US showed satisfactory diagnostic test accuracy in detecting bone erosion. However, the 1.5-T Signa MRI system, General Electric©, and different models of LOGIQ US units and General Electric© showed similarly good performance in detecting bone erosion in RA patients, while the 2nd metacarpophalangeal joint is the best recommended scanning position during US.

Key Points:

• In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of US and MRI for bone erosion in RA patients, neither MRI nor US showed perfect diagnostic test accuracy.

• 1.5-T Signa system and the LOGIQ units both from General Electric© are the machine types of MRI and US with the greatest performance, respectively.

• The 2nd MCP joint is the scanning position recommended during US test.

• Different reference standards will greatly influence the judgment of the results.
