Synovial disorders often affect the knee joint and are a common cause of morbidity. Before MR imaging, radiologists were limited in their ability to provide information about the presence or absence of synovial disease. With the advent of MR imaging, useful information can now be provided to referring clinicians, often at a time when the initiation of therapy may mitigate significantly the long-term sequelae of synovial disorders. MR imaging, owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast, is the imaging modality of choice for demonstrating and quantifying pathologic changes of the synovium. MR imaging provides invaluable information to the clinician regarding the need to either initiate or modify therapy in those patients suffering from diseases of, or affecting, the synovium.
滑膜疾病常累及膝关节，是发病的常见原因。在磁共振成像（MR成像）出现之前，放射科医生提供有关滑膜疾病存在与否信息的能力有限。随着MR成像的出现，现在可以向转诊的临床医生提供有用信息，而且往往是在开始治疗可能显著减轻滑膜疾病长期后遗症的时候。MR成像由于其卓越的软组织对比度，是用于显示和量化滑膜病理变化的首选成像方式。MR成像为临床医生提供了关于患有滑膜疾病或受滑膜疾病影响的患者是否需要开始或调整治疗的宝贵信息。
