Figure 1a. Erosive arthritis of the hand. Sagittal T1 weighted MRI with fat suppression of the left hand. The MRI demonstrates metacarpal head erosions (solid arrows) and volar subluxations of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints. There is extensive MCP synovitis with prominent flexor (dashed arrows) and extensor tenosynovitis (not depicted). Figure 1b. Erosive arthritis of the knee. Coronal T2 weighted MRI of the left knee. The MRI demonstrates moderately thickened and inflamed synovium (dashed arrow) with a 9 mm erosion in the medial aspect of the lateral tibial plateau (solid arrow).
