[Abstract] Objective: To assess the diagnosis value of proton density weighted-spectral attenuated inversion recovery (PDW-SPAIR) in detecting active inflammations in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of 35 RA patients with active lesions confirmed clinically were elected and MR examinations of PDW-SPAIR and contrast enhancement-T1 weighted image-spectral presaturation inversion recovery (CE-T1WI-SPIR) were performed on 1.5 T MR scanner. The lesions were evaluated by two radiodiagnostic doctors, and five imaging signs (bone marrow edema, synovitis, tendonitis, soft tissue swelling, and joint effusion) were evaluated by double-blind method. Comparing the lesions of the two examination sequences showed a coincidence rate.Results: Active lesions of RA showed well in PDW-SPAIR. There was no statistical significance between the two sequences of detecting the active lesions of bone marrow edema (BME), synovitis, tendinitis, soft tissue swelling (P=0.500, 0.219, 0.625, 0.625). The detection rate of joint effusion in PDW-SPAIR was higher than CE-T1WI-SPIR (P=0.004). The coincident rate of the first four signs was between 81.8%-92.6% by two radiographers with double-blind method.Conclusions: Both PDW-SPAIR and CE-T1WI-SPIR sequences can be used to evaluate active joints of RA. PDW-SPAIR can be recommended to evaluate RA joint activity lesions in MRI without contrastenhanced scan in RA patients.
