The introduction of MRI was supposed to be a qualitative leap for the evaluation of
Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) in patients with Axial Spondyloarthropathies (AS). In fact, MRI findings …

Imaging, and particularly MRI, plays a crucial role in the assessment of inflammation in
rheumatic disease, and forms a core component of the diagnostic pathway in axial …

Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of T2 mapping and diffusion-weighted
imaging (DWI) for active sacroiliitis in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to evaluate the …

Abstract Background and Purpose Morphological assessment with conventional magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) sequences has limited specificity to distinguish between …

Objective To prospectively evaluate the ability of IVIM-DWI and DCE-MRI in detecting early
activity of sacroiliitis in rat model of ankylosing spondylitis by comparing with pathological …

Purpose To review quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) methods for imaging
