  • Title: Magnetic resonance imaging of hemochromatosis arthropathy.
    Author: Eustace S, Buff B, McCarthy C, MacMathuana P, Gilligan P, Ennis JT.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 1994 Oct; 23(7):547-9. PubMed ID: 7824984.
    Abstract:
    This study was undertaken to compare plain film radiography and magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of hemochromatosis arthropathy of the knees of ten patients with a biopsy-proven diagnosis. Both modalities enabled visualisation of bony degenerative changes; magnetic resonance imaging enabled additional visualization of deformity of both cartilage and menisci. Magnetic resonance imaging failed reliably to confirm the presence of intra-articular iron in the patients studied. No correlation was observed between synovial fluid magnetic resonance signal values, corresponding serum ferritin levels, or the severity of the observed degenerative changes.
