MRI examples of MCP-extensor peritendinitis. MCP-extensor peritendinitis in two CSA patients, depicted in T1-weighted FSE sequences with frequency selective fat saturation in the axial plane of the MCP joints after injection of gadolinium contrast. Patient A had extensor peritendinitis at the level of MCP 2. Patient B had extensor peritendinitis at MCP 4; this patient also had peritendinitis at the level of MCP 3 and synovitis at MCP 4 that was better visualized at adjacent slices
