Tenosynovitis on Ultrasound: Common in RA Remission May be a more specific tool to identify subclinical inflammation

Even in the absence of clinically detectable joint swelling, imaging can reveal synovial effusion and synovial hypertrophy using gray scale mode and synovial active inflammation using the power Doppler technique," the authors noted. However, inflammation can be present not only in the synovium, but also in nearby structures such as the tendon sheaths.
