Proton density axial section images at the middle of the palm of the hands showing the intense signal caused by fluid distending and encircling the right extensor (arrows) and IV flexor synovial sheaths (arrowheads). An overlaying subcutaneous and peritendinous soft tissue oedema is visible (white open arrow). The normal contralateral structures are shown for comparison.
