MRI is reckoned as the most sensitive tool for monitoring changes such as synovitis and bone marrow edema at early stage of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)[1, 2]. Our results showed that ZTE-MRI can better precisely detect bone erosion compared with fs PD as well as DR and reflect RA degree via the volume percentage of bone erosion over carpal bone. Overall, ZTE-MRI could be an alternative to routine PDWI in clinic practice to help clinicians make better diagnosis without influenced by bone marrow edema, joint effusion and thickening of the synovial membrane and also offer articular function assessment as radiography.
