👉 Marginal erosions(vs central)
👉 Many jts in same digit(ray inv)

Pearls on Rheum imaging:
👉CPPD is not erosive
👉SC joint in OA is common (hard to image)
👉AC joint is 1st place OA affects shoulders (not GH)
👉Neuropathic OA progress rapidly, look at the TMTs
👉Get more views if you aren't seeing what you need
