Why this is a representative case

A representative longitudinal case: a single imaging modality (radiographs), one region group (bilateral hands and wrists), and a mild, stable structural picture across two timepoints. See how case complexity scales ↓.

Surveillance bilateral hand and wrist radiographs were obtained to monitor for structural progression. The same study is read two ways below — a conventional report beside a RheumaView™ structured radiographic report with selectable output depth.

Region(s): Bilateral hands and wrists
Projection Adequacy Note: Current bilateral multi-projection hand/wrist series is adequate for structural assessment; prior study is adequate for interval comparison but includes fewer projections.

Region(s) & Projection Count: Bilateral hands/wrists. Current: 10 views total (right PA, oblique, lateral, plus additional focused oblique views ×2; left PA, oblique, lateral, plus additional focused oblique views ×2). Prior: 4 views total (left PA/lateral; right PA/lateral).

Adequacy Statement: Current examination is adequate for bilateral hand/wrist structural assessment. Prior examination is adequate for longitudinal comparison, though prior projection set is less extensive than the current study.

  • ΔJSN: 0 joints with definite grade increase beyond existing mild interphalangeal narrowing
  • Δosteophytes: 0 convincing net increase in marginal osteophytic burden

Comparison note: Current study includes more projections than the prior exam, increasing present-day sensitivity; despite this, no convincing new erosive or deforming inflammatory abnormality is identified.

Impression

  1. Mild bilateral, predominantly symmetric, nonerosive degenerative arthropathy involving the interphalangeal joints of both hands, greatest at the thumb IP joints and multiple DIP joints, with additional trace-mild scattered PIP involvement; dominant JSN grade is 1.
  2. MCP joints, radiocarpal joints, intercarpal joints, and distal radioulnar joints remain preserved, without convincing marginal erosions, inflammatory-pattern narrowing, carpal collapse, ankylosis, or deforming rheumatoid-pattern structural change on the submitted radiographs.
  3. At most trace radial-sided thumb-base/triscaphe degenerative change bilaterally.
  4. No convincing interval radiographic progression from 2023-xx-xx to 2026-xx-xx. Numeric longitudinal deltas are 0 for erosions, definite JSN progression, osteophyte burden increase, sclerosis progression, malalignment, and ankylosis.
  5. No acute osseous abnormality.

EMR Summary

Bilateral hand/wrist radiographs demonstrate a mild stable nonerosive degenerative pattern centered at the interphalangeal joints. Mild joint-space narrowing with tiny marginal osteophytic remodeling involves the thumb IP joints and multiple DIP joints bilaterally, with additional trace-mild scattered PIP involvement. MCP joints and wrist/carpal compartments remain preserved without convincing marginal erosions, carpal collapse, inflammatory wrist narrowing, ulnar drift, or other deforming rheumatoid-pattern radiographic changes. Compared with 2023-xx-xx, no convincing structural progression is identified; numeric interval deltas are 0 for erosions, definite JSN progression, osteophyte burden increase, sclerosis progression, malalignment, and ankylosis. Pattern tags: degenerative. Progression tag: stable. Inflammatory features: none definite radiographically. DISH tag: absent. Fracture tag: absent.

Findings

Mild bilateral nonerosive degenerative change is present at the interphalangeal joints, greatest at the thumb IP joints and multiple DIP joints of both hands, with lesser scattered mild PIP involvement. Findings consist of mild nonuniform joint-space narrowing with tiny marginal osteophytic/remodeling change. No central erosive collapse is seen.

MCP joints are preserved bilaterally without marginal erosions, subluxation, or deforming inflammatory pattern. Radiocarpal, intercarpal, midcarpal, and distal radioulnar joint alignment is maintained, without convincing inflammatory narrowing, carpal collapse, ankylosis, or erosive wrist arthropathy. At most trace minimal radial-sided thumb-base/triscaphe degenerative change is present bilaterally.

No acute fracture or dislocation. No convincing periarticular inflammatory osteopenic pattern, no ulnar drift, and no focal soft-tissue calcification identified.

Comparison

Compared with 2023-xx-xx, the examination is overall stable. Mild bilateral interphalangeal nonerosive degenerative changes persist without convincing interval progression. No new erosive or deforming inflammatory abnormality is identified.

Impression

  1. Mild bilateral nonerosive degenerative arthropathy of the interphalangeal joints, greatest at the thumb IP and multiple DIP joints, with lesser mild scattered PIP involvement.
  2. MCP joints and wrist/carpal compartments remain preserved, without convincing radiographic erosive inflammatory arthropathy.
  3. At most trace minimal bilateral thumb-base/triscaphe degenerative change.
  4. No convincing interval progression since 2023-xx-xx.
  5. No acute osseous abnormality.

Findings

Mild bilateral nonerosive degenerative change involves the interphalangeal joints, greatest at the thumb IP joints and multiple DIP joints, with lesser scattered mild PIP involvement. MCP joints remain preserved bilaterally without erosive change. Wrist and carpal compartments are preserved without convincing erosive inflammatory arthropathy, carpal collapse, or malalignment. At most minimal bilateral thumb-base/triscaphe degenerative change. No acute osseous abnormality.

Impression

Mild stable bilateral nonerosive interphalangeal degenerative arthropathy. No convincing radiographic erosive inflammatory hand/wrist arthropathy and no convincing interval progression since 2023-xx-xx. No acute osseous abnormality.

How case complexity scales
Foundational
 

Single-date, one modality — the baseline structural read on a single study.

Longitudinal
This case

Multiple timepoints contribute a baseline and interval comparison. Here: two bilateral hand/wrist studies, ~2 years apart.

Multi-modality
 

More than one modality compounds the read — e.g. radiograph alongside MRI, ultrasound, or DEXA.
