Proton-density fat-saturated non-contrast MR imaging is comparable to post-contrast MR imaging for revealing wrist synovitis
Standard MR imaging (MRI) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients comprises a post-contrast T1-fat-saturated (T1FS + C) sequence to detect wrist synovitis and tenosynovitis. This study investigates whether non-contrast sequences can provide similar information to post-contrast imaging. Seventy-seven RA patients (F/M: 64...
