N2 - Traditional methods for assessment of synovial inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis such as clinical examination, immunohistology of bioptic samples, scintigraphy, and radiography have several limitations, including lack of sensitivity, need of invasive techniques, and administration of radioactive material. MRI lacks on standardisation and the data are often analysed using laborious, relatively rigid scoring methods.
