sacroiliitis/edema

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

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
