Target sites for radiocarpal (RC) synovial biopsy and retrieved tissue fragments. A Representative ultrasound longitudinal scan of the radiocarpal joint. The perimeter of the radiocarpal synovitis is marked in different colors to indicate the 3 target sites used in the collection of biopsy specimens. In red is the proximal site, in black is the vault site, and in blue is the distal site. B Representative images of retrieved synovial tissue fragments for each target site. Macroscopic and histological images stained with hematoxylin and eosin (at × 10 magnification and detail of the lymphocyte infiltrate at × 20 magnification) of representative synovial tissues for each target site
