Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pigmented villonodular synovitis, synovial chondromatosis, long-standing rheumatoid arthritis, hemophilic arthropathy, chronic tophaceous gout, amyloid arthropathy, tuberculous arthritis, and hemangioma are the synovial diseases showing low signal intensity on T2-weighted image. Synovial deposition of hemosiderin, urate, and amyloid and fibrosis or caseous necrosis of hypertrophied synovium are known as the pathologic causes of T2 signal intensity. Because of the low incidence of the synovial lesions showing T2 low signal intensity, recognition of these diseases would be helpful for the exact diagnosis.
