Overview
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of mixed connective tissue disease, which include features characteristic of polyarthritis (soft tissue atrophy, calcifications, distal interphalangeal joint erosions, juxta-articular osteoporosis, joint space narrowing, marginal erosions, joint deformities without erosions, and osteonecrosis) and interstitial lung disease (ground−glass opacities, peripheral reticular infiltrates, and small irregular opacities).
X Ray
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of mixed connective tissue disease, which include:[1][2][3]
- Polyarthritis
- Features characteristic of arthrits in systemic sclerosis:
- soft tissue atrophy
- Calcifications
- Distal interphalangeal joint erosions
- Features characteristic of arthritis in rheumatoid arthritis:
- Juxta-articular osteoporosis
- Joint space narrowing
- Marginal erosions
- Features characteristic of arthritis in systemic lupus erythematosus:
- Joint deformities without erosions
- osteonecrosis
- Features characteristic of arthrits in systemic sclerosis:
- Interstitial lung disease
- Ground−glass opacities
- Peripheral reticular infiltrates
- Small irregular opacities (predominantly in the bases and middle regions)
