Pathological lesions in and around a joint can arise
from underlying dermis, subcutis, deep muscle, bone or
synovium. Clinical presentation can include joint pain,
joint swelling, palpable masses and mechanical restriction.
Whilst giant cell tumour of tendon sheath, pigmented
villonodular synovitis, synovial chondromatosis, lipoma
arborescens, juxta articular myxomas and inflammatory
arthritis are the better-known conditions of the joint.
Intra-articular nodular fasciitis, on the other hand, is less
well recognized both clinically and radiologically. It is
rarely seen in routine practice and is only described in case
reports in the literature. Due to the non-specific clinical
and radiological findings as well as the unfamiliarity with
the entity, the diagnosis of intra-articular nodular fasciitis
is usually clinched only after histological examination.
We present a case of intra-articular nodular fasciitis arising
in the knee joint which was not suspected clinically or
radiologically

Although MR imaging is generally applicable to depict knee joint deterioration it, is sometimes occurred to mis-read and mis-diagnose the common knee joint diseases. In this study, we employed magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) method to improve the diagnosis of the various knee joint diseases. Spin-echo (SE) T2-weighted images (TR/TE 3,400-3,500/90?100 ms) were obtained in seven cases of knee joint deterioration, FSE T2-weighted images (TR/TE 4,500-5,000/100?108 ms) were obtained in seven cases of knee joint deterioration, gradient-echo (GRE) T2-weighted images (TR/TE 9/4.56/50degrees flip angle, NEX 1) were obtained in 3 cases of knee joint deterioration, In six cases of knee joint deterioration, fat suppression was performed using a T2-weighted short T1/tau inverse recovery (STIR) sequence (TR/TE =2,894-3,215 ms/70 ms, NEX 3, ETL 9). Calculation of MTR for individual pixels was performed on registration of unsaturated and saturated images. After processing to make MTR images, the images were displayed in gray color. For improving diagnosis, three-dimensional isotropic volume images, the MR tristimulus color mapping and the MTR map was employed. MTR images showed diagnostic images quality to assess the patients' pathologies. The intensity difference between MTR images and conventional MRI was seen on the color bar. The profile graph on MTR imaging effect showed a quantitative measure of the relative decrease in signal intensity due to the MT pulse. To diagnose the pathologies of the knee joint, the profile graph data was shown on the image as a small cross. The present study indicated that MTR images in the knee joint were feasible. Investigation of physical change on MTR imaging enables to provide us more insight in the physical and technical basis of MTR imaging. MTR images could be useful for rapid assessment of diseases that we examine unambiguous contrast in MT images of knee disorder patients.
