Mild synovial thickening (grade 1) and severe joint enhancement (grade 2) on sagittal oblique images in a 5-year-old boy. a There moderate flattening of condyle (*) and mild flattening of temporal bone (arrow) on T1-weighted image (TR/TE 300/4.2 ms, flip angle 80°, without fat saturation). b Fluid-sensitive, fat-saturated T2-weighted fast spin echo image (TR/TE 5,400/77 ms) shows tissue with intermediate signal intensity exceeding 1-mm width in lower joint space (arrow). c Postcontrast fat-saturated T1-weighted image (TR/TE 670/10 ms) shows high signal intensity (arrows) involving both the upper and lower joint compartments.
