These results show that dynamic MRI can be used to score synovitis objectively in early RA patients. Synovitis was greater in SE+ patients, suggesting an early genetic influence on joint inflammation, and was predictive for the development of erosions at 1 yr.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
