Abstract：Rheumatology imaging techniques can accurately identify inflammatory and structural changes in joints.Combined with clinical and laboratory tests,these techniques can monitor treatment efficacy,predict disease progression,and guide clinical treatment plans.Focusing on the use of rheumatology imaging in clinical diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases,as well as in the disease progression process,this paper explores the advancements and value of various imaging techniques such as whole-body MRI,quantitative MRI,low-dose CT,dual-energy CT,synthesized CT,and machine-learning methods in early diagnosis,differential diagnosis,treatment monitoring,and prognosis prediction of rheumatic diseases,thereby clarifying the future direction of rheumatology imaging development.
