A member asked:
Mri report of knee says...the popliteal fossa cyst which probably represents proliferative synovitis. does this mean i have ra?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: An MRI doesn't give an RA diagnosis anyway. Findings could b consistent with those found in RA but the diagnosis is not made thru an MRI
