Background: The sacroiliac joint is well known as a cause of low back and lower extremity
pain. Prevalence estimates are 10% to 25% in patients with persistent axial low back pain …

Current emphasis on diagnosing axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in early stage enforced the
search for sensitive and specific diagnostic algorithms with the use of imaging methods. The …

Diagnostic delay (DD) is associated with poor radiological and quality of life outcomes in
axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The female (F) population …

Objective To develop evidence-based recommendations on the use of ultrasound (US) and
magnetic resonance imaging in patients with spondyloarthritis, including psoriatic arthritis …

Ultrasound (US) is an accessible imaging technique with a possible role to diagnose active
sacroiliitis, so this technique is projected as a promising diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of …

In recent years there has been an increased focus on use of imaging for diagnosis and
assessment of spondyloarthritis (SpA). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has attracted …

Objectives The objectives of this study were to study with Power Doppler US (PDUS) the SI
joints (SIJs) of patients with suspected active sacroiliitis, to describe SIJ flows with spectral …

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is marked by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal
tract and encompasses two major subtypes, Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis …

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a frequent extra-intestinal manifestation in patients with
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), although its real diffusion is commonly considered …

Background: Power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS) with spectral wave analysis (SWA) has
been compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in documenting active sacroiliitis in …
