| Popis: | Thirty-three joints of the appendicular skeleton in 15 children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis were examined with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to determine if it could demonstrate synovial hypertrophy and status of the articular cartilage. Presumed synovial hypertrophy was seen in 13 joints as masses of varying sizes of low to intermediate signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted images; sometimes foci of increased signal intensity, most likely due to fluid or inflammation, were seen on T2-weighted images. Probable abnormal articular cartilage was detected in ten joints, and MR imaging also demonstrated epiphyseal overgrowth, bone erosions, joint effusions, and joint space narrowing. Because MR imaging appears to provide an objective method of evaluating both synovial hypertrophy and status of articular cartilage, it may prove to be useful in monitoring progression of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and response to therapy. |
