Figure 13. Acute painful arthritis of the third metacarpophalangeal joint. Coronal contrast-enhanced fat-saturated T1-weighted MR image shows extensive thickening and hyperenhancement, findings consistent with synovitis. The enhancement of the bone marrow (*) is indicative of inflammatory involvement or a reactive response. The cortical layer of the metacarpal head is thinned.
