SNR analysis of contrast-enhanced MR imaging for early detection of rheumatoid arthritis.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether signal to noise (SNR) analysis of contrast-enhanced MRI gives additional benefit for early disease detection by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of experimental rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a small animal model. METHODS:We applied contrast-enhanced MRI at 7T in DBA m...
