Synovitis in wrist joint areas and MCP joints detected on high field and low field MRI. Agreement rates of low field MRI were calculated with high field MRI as standard reference

| MCP, metacarpophalangeal; Ra-Ul, distal radioulnar joint; Ra-Carp, radiocarpal area of wrist joint; ICMC, intercarpal-carpometacarpal area of wrist joint; ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient. No, numbers of joints/joint area. Note: Eight people had a limb size that precluded MRI examination of the MCP joints owing to the size of the FOV. | ||||||
