To evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for the detection of bone marrow edema (BME) in patients suspected for sacroiliitis.Patients aged 18-55 years with clinical suspicion for sacroiliitis were OBJECTIVE
The objective of our study was to compare MRI findings in the sacroiliac joints of postpartum women (as a model of mechanical changes) and women with known axial spondyloarthritis (as an inflammatory model).
METHODS
For this prospective multicenter age-matched, case-control study,
To determine the association between inflammatory and structural lesions on sacroiliac joint (SIJ) MRI and BMD and to identify risk factors for low BMD in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Seventy-six patients who fulfilled the ASAS axSpA criteria were enrolled. All underwent SIJ MRI
OBJECTIVE
To assess the diagnostic confidence in detecting and localizing areas of bone marrow edema in the sacroiliac joint of patients with suspected spondyloarthritis using a single-plane method and comparing it with multiplanar unenhanced and enhanced methods.
METHODS
Patients with clinical
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of various MRI findings of infectious sacroiliitis in children and with respect to age. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This institutional review board-approved, HIPAA-compliant retrospective study included children with
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the role of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the differential diagnosis of sacroiliitis.
Purpose: To compare the
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and specific properties of MR imaging-guided corticosteroid infiltration of the sacroiliac (SI) joints in the treatment of therapy-refractory sacroiliitis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
METHODS
In this study, 26 patients were prospectively included.
Objective: To evaluate the value of mDIXON-Quant sequence, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in quantitative diagnosing of the sacroiliitis stages in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods: Based on the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Activity Index (BASDAI) and laboratory parameters, a total
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to determine the added diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to routine non contrast-enhanced MRI to detect active sacroiliitis in clinically juvenile spondyloarthritis (JSpA).
METHODS
A total of 80 children clinically
A prospective study was conducted in 23 patients to evaluate magnetic resonance imaging versus computed tomography and plain film radiography for the early detection of sacroiliitis in patients with spondylarthropathy and an Amor score of less than 6. Computed tomography was significantly better
Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to evaluate active inflammatory sacroiliitis related to axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The qualitative and semiquantitative diagnosis performed by expert radiologists and rheumatologists remains subject to significant intrapersonal OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the study was to investigate the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced MRI using the subtraction technique in the detection of active sacroiliitis.
METHODS
Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 8 asymptomatic volunteers and 50 patients with clinically suspected active
OBJECTIVE
Sacroiliitis based on MRI is one of the main diagnostic criteria of axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). Our purpose was to assess (a) whether apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) differ between regions of bone marrow edema (BME) and subchondral
