Standard of care lupus activity measures were collected, along with a detailed physical exam. MRIs were obtained using standard musculoskeletal sequences with gadolinium contrast. Semiquantitative scoring of the images used the  Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Clinical Trials RAMRIS system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>RAMRIS demonstrates large amounts of synovitis, tenosynovitis, bone marrow oedema and erosive disease in only a minority of patients.
