[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the image findings of synovial osteochondromatosis and differential diagnosis.Materials and Methods: X-ray, CT and MRI findings in 15 cases with synovial osteochondromatosis were analyzed retrospectively.Results: 11 cases of 15 cases were proved by clinical and pathologically, 4 cases of 15 cases were proved by arthroendoscopy. X-ray, CT and MRI can find small loose body, X-ray and CT can find high densidy calcification round and oval shape, large or small of small loose body. MRI can find small cartilage nodular had hypointensity on T1WI, had a mixture of hypo-hypeintensity on T2WI. CT examination can be found hidden loose bodies, thickened synovium and intra-articular effusion MR can detect intra-articular not free of calcification cartilage tumor nodules, in addition to articular loose bodies can be seen, but also clearly indicated that cartilage synovial soft tissue changes and joint effusion.Conclusions: Loose body is the characteristic features in imaging. X-ray diagnosing simple and high-speed, CT and MRI can find more information.
