Arthropathy in Behçet disease: MR imaging findings in two cases

Radiology. 2003 Feb;226(2):387-9. doi: 10.1148/radiol.2262011982.

Abstract

Arthropathy is part of the protean manifestations of Behçet disease. Imaging findings reported thus far have been based on those of conventional radiography. Magnetic resonance imaging in two cases of Behçet disease with arthropathy demonstrated synovial thickening and effusion, as well as myositis manifested by high signal intensity on T2-weighted images.
