title: Magnetic resonance imaging manifestations of synovial lesions of the ankle and foot.
abstract: Inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic, degenerative, or idiopathic disorders may all be manifested as synovial disease. MR imaging allows noninvasive evaluation of synovial disease and is a highly sensitive modality for detection of synovial pathology. Intravenous or intra-articular contrast administration will sometimes further increase signal differences between inflamed synovium, joint effusion, and surrounding structures.
