Validating an Empirical Mathematical Model for Dynamic Contrast-enhanced MR Imaging of Hand and Wrist Synovitis in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Correlation of Model Parameters with Clinical Disease Activity.

CONCLUSION: EMM could fit the DCE-MRI data of hand and wrist synovitis. AUC30 obtained from the uptake phase of the kinetic curve as well as A, β and Tpeak obtained throughout the kinetic curve might be effective to predict the clinical disease activity.
