They are all synonyms. You do not need and xray for this!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this disease condition that you have mentioned. These names are used interchangeably. The diagnosis is purely clinical and requires no Xray for diagnosis. Talking to you and examining the finger is enough. If any further tests are asked, this might be to rule out other possible causes and not to confirm it. If your hobby or job requires repetitive use of the fingers, then you are at risk for this condition.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
