title: [Diagnostic imaging in arthrosis deformans of the peripheral joints].
abstract: Conventional radiology is the most important diagnostic imaging method for the arthrosis deformans of the little peripheral joints, sometimes radionuclide bone imaging is used as a supplement. We deal with the classification and the radiological signs of the arthrosis deformans in general and of the peripheral joints in particular. Great importance is attached to typical findings and finding constellations in text and pictures. We try to explain the complex differential diagnosis and the implication with other disorders of the joints in a brief and poignant way.
