Abstract

The objective findings of phalangeal T2-weighted hyperintense and T1-weighted hypointense bone marrow signal on MRI without features of seronegative arthropathy or osteomyelitis may assist clinicians in making a diagnosis in the appropriate clinical context.

Keywords: MRI; Raynaud’s; bone marrow oedema; cyanosis; pallor.
