"Myositis "
"Linear or nodular calcification in the subcutaneous and deep soft tissues may be seen, especially around the small joint of extremities. Associations with diuretic therapy and vitamin D supplementation has been documented."
"When articular abnormalities are present, approximately 5-40% will develop a deforming non-erosive arthropathy due to ligamentous laxity (not articular destruction) and muscle contracture. This is more common in those with long-standing disease. In the hands, this can be classically seen on Nørgaard views but absent on PA views and are termed as reducible deformities. The presence of deformities without erosions can differentiate SLE from rheumatoid arthritis."

Imaging features also include capsular swelling, oedematous and proliferative tenosynovitis and synovial hypertrophy 4."
