ABSTRACT

Amyloidosis is a disease complex caused by the extracellular deposition of an insoluble protein called amyloid. Amyloid arthropathy results from localized amyloid deposition in and around the joints. This article discusses the types of amyloidosis associated with amyloid arthropathy and presents their characteristic imaging findings.

KEYWORDS

Amyloidosis - amyloid arthropathy - computed tomography - magnetic resonance imaging
