Quantification of Fat Metaplasia in the Sacroiliac Joints of Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis by Chemical Shift-Encoded MRI: A Diagnostic Trial

Dong Liu et al.

Summary: Chemical shift-encoded MRI (CSE-MRI) is a reliable tool to assess the fat metaplasia in the SIJs of axSpA patients. Extensive fat deposition in the SIJs adds incremental diagnostic value to bone marrow edema (BME), but at the cost of decreased specificities.

Morphological characteristics of sacroiliac joint MRI lesions in axial spondyloarthritis and control subjects

Sengul Seven et al.

Summary: The study found that a FAT depth greater than 5 mm can almost differentiate patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) from other groups. When excluding post-partum women, a BME greater than 5 mm and erosion were highly specific for axSpA.

MRI in axial spondyloarthritis: understanding an 'ASAS-positive MRI' and the ASAS classification criteria

Torsten Diekhoff et al.

Summary: This article explains the definition of an 'ASAS-positive MRI' and the classification criteria for axial spondyloarthritis published by the ASAS. It highlights the limitations of using these criteria in clinical practice and provides guidance for updated imaging protocols and interpretation of images.

Data-driven definitions for active and structural MRI lesions in the sacroiliac joint in spondyloarthritis and their predictive utility

Walter P. Maksymowych et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine quantitative cut-offs for SI joint MRI lesions typical of inflammatory and structural lesions in axSpA, which can predict clinical diagnosis. The results showed that cut-offs for MRI findings specific to axSpA had PPVs greater than or equal to 95% for clinical diagnosis. Thus, the proposed cut-offs can be used for disease classification and clinical research to improve the diagnostic accuracy for axSpA.
