Table below provides a differential diagnosis of disorders affecting the joints:[16]

Disease name Age of onset Signs/Symptoms X-ray findings MRI findings
NOMID/CINCA[16][17]
  • Early infancy
  • Physis is the epicenter
  • Early radiograph: enlargement of the unossified physis, resulting in a mass-like lesion
  • Late radiograph: stippled ossification/calcification causing deformed adjacent epiphysis
  • Possible involvement of multiple joints simultaneously or at different times
  • Enlarged, heterogenous physis with hypointense calcifications on T1 & T2 weighted images
  • Heterogenous enhancement at the physis in post-gadolinium images
  • Presence of popliteal lymph node
  • Absence of bony erosion
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)[18][19]
  • Younger than 16 years old


  • Involvement of the articular surface of the joints
  • Initially, soft tissue swelling and enlarged epiphyseal enlargement due to hyperemia
  • As the disease progresses, joint space narrowing and bony erosion are the dominant features
Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO)[20][21][22]
  • Childhood and adolescence
  • Multiple symmetrical metaphyseal lesions
  • Lesions ranges between purely osteolytic, osteolytic with a sclerotic rim, mixed lytic and sclerotic, and purely sclerotic
  • Early phases: marrow edema with hypointense appearance on T1-weighted images
  • Hyperintense on T2-weighted images
  • Synovial thickening
  • Joint effusion
  • Destruction of joint cartilage
  • Subchondral bone
Rickets[23][24]
