Summary

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare systemic autoimmune disease with specific osteoarticular pattern of unknown mechanism. Ischemic phenomenon have been suggested to participate to the osteoarticular involvement in SSc. To date, osteoarticular pattern and hand vascular involvement have been few studied in magnetic resonance imaging in SSc, and most often with low resolution RMI. 7 Tesla RMI allows high resolution for morphology examination, together with dynamic and functional vascular study and sodium articular concentration. Indeed, the aim of the study is to describe hand osteoarticular and vascular involvement in SSc, as well as sodium articular concentration. Clinico-biological association will be also assessed.
