Unilateral versus bilateral ultrasound of the hands in patients with clinically suspect arthralgia: what is the difference? A longitudinal study
US-detected subclinical (teno)synovitis in CSA-patients is partly bilateral and partly unilateral. Predictive values for IA-development are comparable. To reduce scanning time in clinical practice one could consider scanning the one hand instead of both hands in patients with CSA.
