Abstract Objectives To investigate whether Fluorescence Optical Imaging (FOI) enhancement and MRI-defined synovitis are associated with pain and physical function in hand OA patients. Methods Bilateral FOI scans and MRI of the dominant hand were available for 221 patients. Finger joints were examine...
