Abstract
The diagnosis of typical cases of rheumatoid arthritis can be done on clinical grounds but problem arises in equivocal cases and radiological changes suggestive of rheumatoid arthritis help in confirmation or overweight the clinical diagnosis. Radiological changes viz, osteoporosis and soft tissue swelling can be assessed by conventional projections but problem arises in early detection of minute erosive changes of the articular surfaces. These lesions have been very well demonstrated by using magnification radiography and hence may be recommended for early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
