The aim of the current study was to assess volume of
synovial membrane and synovial fluid on non-enhanced T2
mapping and examine associations of synovial
inflammation activity with clinical symptom and
structural disorders of the articular cartilage and
meniscus. The volumes of synovial membrane and fluid by
T2-mapping were calculated similarly to the volumes by
contrast-enhanced MR sequences. There is high
correlation between the volume of synovial membrane and
knee pain score.
