• In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of US and MRI for bone erosion in RA patients, neither MRI nor US showed perfect diagnostic test accuracy.• 1.5-T Signa system and the LOGIQ units both from General Electric© are the machine types of MRI and US with the greatest performance, respectively.• The 2nd MCP joint is the scanning position recommended during US test.• Different reference standards will greatly influence the judgment of the results.
