Zusammenfassung Ziel In diesem Beitrag wird evaluiert, ob die radiologischen Diagnosekriterien ausreichen, um Diagnose einer pigmentierten villonodulären Synovitis (PVNS) anhand eines Magnetresonanztomographie(MRT)-Befunds sicher stellen zu können und daraus eine Operationsindikation abzuleiten. Hierzu wurde überprüft, inwieweit radiologische mit dem histopathologischen Befund übereinstimmte. M...

Three patients with unexplained synovial inflammation were found to have an ulcerative, granulomatous synovitis on biopsy. Maize starch was identified in giant cells within the granulomata. Starch synovitis has clinical and histological similarities to starch peritonitis, which is thought to be an example of a cell mediated immune response.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate synovitis (clinical vs ultrasound (US)) to predict structural progression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS Patients with RA. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, 2-year follow-up. DATA COLLECTED Synovitis (32 joints (2 wrists, 10 metacarpophalangeal, 10 proximal interphalangeal, 10 metatarsophalangeal)) at baseline and after 4 months of therapy by clinical, US grey scale ...

We have identified regular thermal patterns over normal knee, ankle, and elbow joints and demonstrate how synovitis affecting these joints may be identified by alteration or loss of the thermal pattern. Sixty healthy volunteers were thermographed on a total of 190 occasions, and 614 out of 618 joints conformed to the normal thermal pattern. Eighty-five patients with synovitis of at least one of...
