Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI Can Monitor the Very Early Inflammatory Treatment Response upon Intra-Articular Steroid Injection in the Knee Joint: A Case Report with Review of the Literature
Figure 3
A rough ROI outlining the anterior part of the knee in the dynamic image guided by the ME maps and their corresponding dynamic curves from baseline through day 7 (a–d). Note the decrease of enhancing voxels in the parametric map over time as well as a simultaneous decrease of the slope in the corresponding dynamic enhancement curves. The Y-axis of the enhancement curves shows the intensity increase from baseline, and the X-axis shows the acquisition time in seconds.
