Synovial lesions of the hand and wrist.
Synovial tissue in the hand and wrist is frequently involved by inflammatory, degenerative, infectious, traumatic, metabolic, or neoplastic lesions. Although normal synovium is not shown on MR images, the morphology and signal characteristics of abnormal synovium is generally well demonstrated. Special MR techniques for accurate quantification of pannus are under investigation.
