MIKKEL ØSTERGAARD, FIONA McQUEEN, PAUL BIRD, CHARLES PETERFY, ESPEN HAAVARDSHOLM, BO EJBJERG, MARISSA LASSERE, PHILIP O'CONNOR, PAUL EMERY, JOHN EDMONDS, HARRY GENANT, and PHILIP G. CONAGHAN ABSTRACT. This article updates the work and research priorities of the OMERACT working group on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in inflammatory arthritis, as presented to the OMERACT 8 meeting in Malta in May 2006. This work focused on testing the reliability of dedicated extremity MRI in rheumatoid arthritis and on the initial steps in the development of an MRI score for peripheral psoriatic arthritis.
