Evaluating automated dynamic contrast enhanced wrist 3Â T MRI in healthy volunteers: One-year longitudinal observational study

The study demonstrated that contrast enhancement does occur in healthy volunteers but the inherent variability of perfusion measures obtained with quantitative DCE-MRI method is low and stable, suggesting its suitability for longitudinal studies of inflammatory arthritis. These results also provide important information regarding potential cut-off levels for imaging remission goals in patients with RA using both RAMRIS and DCE-MRI extracted parametric parameters.
