Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disease affecting nearly every organ system in the body. The musculoskeletal (MSK) system is frequently affected and often the earliest site of disease presentation. Tendon, tendon sheath, bone, muscle, and soft tissue involvement is assessed through a multimodality approach. Radiology has an evolving role in the diagnosis and management of SLE. In this article, the authors discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and typical imaging findings, as well as review the role of imaging in the management of SLE.
期刊介绍:
Skeletal Radiology provides a forum for the dissemination of current knowledge and information dealing with disorders of the musculoskeletal system including the spine. While emphasizing the radiological aspects of the many varied skeletal abnormalities, the journal also adopts an interdisciplinary approach, reflecting the membership of the International Skeletal Society. Thus, the anatomical, pathological, physiological, clinical, metabolic and epidemiological aspects of the many entities affecting the skeleton receive appropriate consideration.
This is the Journal of the International Skeletal Society and the Official Journal of the Society of Skeletal Radiology and the Australasian Musculoskelelal Imaging Group.
