: The same large cohort of early arthritis patients has been reported in multiple studies over the past several years. Most recently and relevant to this work are a study on quantification of bone marrow edema (ExternalRef removed) and a study on frequency of MRI-detected tenosynovitis in early arthritis patients (ExternalRef removed). The present work focuses on automatic quantification of tenosynovitis. Thus, there is no overlap between the objective of this study and the objectives of previously published studies involving this cohort of patients.
