Overview

Ultrasonography may be helpful in the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. Findings on an ultrasonography suggestive of psoriatic arthritis include synovitis, thickening of the joint capsule, joint effusions, and widening of joint space. Echocardiography is not used in the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. But it is used to diagnose cardiac complications of psoriatic arthritis.
