Abstract

Objective To analyze the signs of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods 35 patients with RA, 10 males, 25 females, aged 19-67years were performed GE 1.5T MR scanner.Results Among 60 wrists with RA, 25 patients had bilateral synovial enhancement or thickening as criterion; 10 patients had unilateral synovial enhancement or thickening.Conclusion MRI is one of the most reliable diagnostic methods for RA and it is extremely useful in the early diagnosis. The early diagnosis of RA was highly suggested when bilateral synovial enhancement and thickening was presented.
