Bone erosions are the hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). High‐resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR‐pQCT) enables 3‐dimensional visualization of arthritic bone erosions at a high resolution. However, the degree of erosive disease could influence the reliability of HR‐pQCT evaluation. We aim to assess the intra‐ and inter‐reader variability of identification of erosions in the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints using HR‐pQCT in healthy controls and patients with RA, stratified according to van der Heijde‐modified Sharp Score (HSS) of radiographic erosions.
