Abstract

Objective Explore the dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI assessment of carpal synovial changes in the diagnostic value of early rheumatoid arthritis.Methods ACR/EULAR score less than 6of the 25patients were done with wrist MR imaging,and dynamic follow-up observation of changes in synovial.We analysised the correlation of wrist synovial MRI score with early rheumatoid arthritis.Results All the 25patients were detected by MRI,and underwent follow-up. 12patients Synovial changes with suspected patients were checked by enhanced MRI,including 10cases with the synovial mild thickening and two cases with no significant strengthening.Conclusion Enhanced MRI has good value in a dynamic follow-up observation of early rheumatoid arthritis and provide a theoretical basis for early clinical intervention.
