Aim:The aim of this study is to compare conventional radiography (CR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in terms of involvement of hand and wrist bones in patients with sarcoidosis. Material and Methods: Clinically and pathologically diagnosed 25 sarcoidosis patients were investigated. All patients were evaluated with bilateral hand and wrist radiography, and MRI. Results: The bone involvement of sarcoidosis was seen only 1 of 25 patients (4%) on radiography. Bone involvement of hand and wrist was determined in 3 patients (12%) on MRI. Foot MR exam was added to one patient who had foot pain. Tarsal bone lesion was determined in this patient. Although MRI is more effective in showing the lesions, the- re was no statistically significant difference on determining the bone lesions of sarcoidosis when the success of MRI is compared with CR in terms of detection of bone involvement (P = 0.62). Conclusion: This study is the first study in which hand, wrist CR and MRI were compared in sarcoidosis. There are case reports about superiority of MRI in bone involvement. MRI was not found superior in this study but when it is evaluated on the basis of cases it was seen that MRI gave better results than CR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
