TLDR
Dynamic MRI could distinguish knees with and without synovial inflammation with a high predictive value, and the optimal time for enhancement measurements was one-half to one minute after Gd injection, as the highest correlation coefficients to histologic inflammation were observed in this interval.About:

Power doppler ultrasonography for assessment of synovitis in the metacarpophalangeal joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A comparison with dynamic magnetic resonance imaging

TL;DR: PDUS was reliable for assessing inflammatory activity in the MCP joints of RA patients, using dynamic MRI as the standard and clinical assessment of joint swelling/tenderness were only weakly correlated.

TL;DR: Ve, enhancement and AUC are highly reproducible DCE‐MRI parameters, while Ktrans, kep and gradient have greater variability, but are nevertheless sufficiently reproducible to detect changes greater than 14–17% in a cohort of 16 patients.

Characteristics of gadolinium-DTPA complex: a potential NMR contrast agent.
TL;DR: The combination of strong proton relaxation, in-vivo stability, rapid urinary excretion, and high tolerance favors the further development and the potential clinical application of gadolinium-DTPA as a contrast enhancer in magnetic resonance imaging.
