MRI examination of structural lesions of the sacroiliac joints and the spine may help identify and classify axial spondyloarthritis.
Inflammation of Sacroiliac Joint in Axial Spondyloarthritis vs Healthy Participants
Inflammation shown on MRI of the sacroiliac joint (MRI-SI) is prevalent in axSpA (±30%), but the specificity is not well known.
