To compare fat suppression effectiveness, image quality and disease activity scores between MRI protocols based on the Dixon method and the Chemical Shift Selective (CHESS) technique in hands of patients with suspicion of early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Both hands of 28 patients (19 women; mean age 45.2 years old) with suspicion of early RA were prospectively imaged with Dixon- and CHESS-based OMERACT recommended protocols at 1.5 T including fat-suppressed T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging. Two radiologists (R1/R2) separately assessed effectiveness of fat suppression and determined RAMRIS scores woth the Dixon- and CHESS-based protocols. R1 repeated the RAMRIS scoring and measured contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) on Dixo...
