摘要
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare two-dimensional (2D) T2-weighted, contrast-enhanced 2D T1-weighted and contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (3D) T1-weighted Dixon MRI sequences to assess disease activity using the RAMRIS scoring system in hands of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis.Materials and methods: Twenty-five patients (19 women, 6 men; mean age 51.4 years & PLUSMN; 12.7 years [SD], age range: 28-70 years) with rheumatoid arthritis prospectively underwent MRI examination of both hands at 1.5 T using 2D fast spin-echo (FSE) T2-weighted, contrast-enhanced 2D FSE T1-weighted and contrast -enhanced 3D fast spoiled gradient echo (FSPGR) T1-weighted Dixon sequences. Three radiologists indepen-dently assessed disease activity according to RAMRIS using Dixon water-only and fat-only images. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to assess inter-technique and interobserver agreements.Results: Agreement to assess total RAMRIS score was very good between the MRI protocols (mean ICC ranging from 0.81 to 0.93) and between readers (mean ICC ranging from 0.91 to 0.94). Mean total RAMRIS scores of the three readers were significantly greater with contrast-enhanced 3D FSPGR T1-weighted (42.73 & PLUSMN; 29.39) than with contrast-enhanced 2D FSE T1-weighted (35.81 & PLUSMN; 25.48) and 2D FSE T2-weighted (32.20 & PLUSMN; 25.06) Dixon sequences.Conclusion: 2D FSE T2-weighted, contrast-enhanced 2D FSE T1-weighted Dixon and contrast-enhanced 3D FSPGR T1-weighted Dixon protocols are reproducible alternatives for the RAMRIS scoring in hands of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis. Coupling contrast-enhanced 3D FSPGR T1-weighted and 2D FSE T2 -weighted sequences might be the most efficient option to completely assess the rheumatoid arthritis-related synovial and bone changes with the Dixon method. & COPY; 2023 Societe francaise de radiologie.
