Thearticular margins show variable degrees ofincreased density and the correspondingjoint spaces are narrowed. These changesare most pronounced in the metacarpo-phal-angeal joint of the right middle finger, the placed by deposits of increased density withproliferative changes (Hpping and spur for-mation). The shaft of the middle phalanx ofthe middle finger of the right hand is nar-rowed. There are numerous, more or less cir-cular, frecfuently fairly well defined focalareas of decreased density, localized mostlyin the heads of the metacarpal and phalan-geal bones. The soft tissues of the fingers show irreg- r.
