Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging methods are described for measurement of di sease activity in knee in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Measurements of cartilage thickness, joint effusion volume, and pannus volume have been made. The latter measurement relies on synthetic fractional enhan cement images of the response to gadopentetate dimeglumine.
