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
The purpose of this study is to characterize the MRI changes of the sacroiliac joints (SIJs) during pregnancy and following labor and to correlate them with clinical symptoms. Ninety-three pelvic and hip MRIs of pregnant and ≤6 months postpartum women were retrospectively evaluated (Berlin method),
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is usually characterized by early inflammatory involvement of the sacroiliac joints (SI), which constitutes one of the most important classification criteria according to the SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS). These criteria do not include inflammatory spine
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,
Purpose To determine the diagnostic performance of dual-energy virtual noncalcium (VNCa) CT in the detection of bone marrow edema in study participants with sacroiliitis associated with axial spondyloarthritis. Materials and Methods In this prospective study, 47 consecutive participants (mean age,
To evaluate proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and R2* as markers of bone marrow composition and structure in inflamed bone in patients with spondyloarthritis.
Phantoms containing fat, water, and trabecular bone were constructed with proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and bone mineral density (BMD)
The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) may be used as a biomarker to diagnose axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and monitor therapeutic response.To measure the repeatability of the ADC in healthy individuals and in patients with axSpA with and without Bone marrow edema is easily identified on MRI. The terminology suggests that the water content of bone marrow is increased when it is T1W hypointense and T2W hyperintense. It is a misnomer since, histologically, the abnormality does not correspond to marrow edema. The histological findings vary
To determine the prevalence of active inflammatory changes around the pubic symphysis on MRI scans in patients with axial spondyloarthritis, and to evaluate its association with clinical factors.A retrospective analysis of MRI scans of 128 patients
