Abstract
Fourteen patients with various synovial diseases were imaged using conventional radiographic techniques and MRI. We had five patients with synovial tumors, including two each with PVNS and synovial osteochondromatosis. We had five patients with infections and four patients with various other forms of arthritis. Although MRI was found to be a useful means to visualize the synovium, the findings were nonspecific except in the case of PVNS.
