  • Title: Pathophysiology and imaging in inflammatory and blastomatous synovial diseases.
    Author: Imhof H, Nöbauer-Huhmann IM, Gahleitner A, Kainberger F, Krestan C, Sulzbacher I, Trattnig S.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 2002 Jun; 31(6):313-33. PubMed ID: 12073116.
    Abstract:
    Variable pathologies are subsumed under the term "synovial disease", including common pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis. While formerly radiologists had to rely on conventional radiographs and bone scintigraphy with their inherent problems in visualizing soft tissue, noninvasive imaging of the synovium has recently improved substantially with the technical development of MRI and (Doppler) ultrasound. These imaging modalities allow differentiation of characteristic pathologic features based on a profound knowledge of normal anatomy and pathophysiology.
