Resolution: standard / high Figure 1.
MRI scans from a 65 year old female rheumatoid arthritis patient with disease duration
of one year. (a) Coronal T1 weighted image of the dominant wrist with reduced signal indicating florid
bone oedema involving the entire lunate bone (circle). (b) Equivalent image following the injection of contrast (gadolinium diethylenetriamine
pentaacetic acid (GdDPTA)) shows very bright signal within the lunate, suggesting
the presence of vascularized tissue (slice does not exactly correspond with pre-GdDPTA
image). (c) Axial T2w image with bright signal confirming bone oedema at the lunate.
