This review outlines the imaging approach to sacroiliitis, emphasizing the imaging protocols, diagnostic criteria, limitations and potential mimics of MRI examination. The value of imaging-guided intervention in sacroiliac joint disease is also briefly outlined.
9 mar 2024 · We present a summary of practice recommendations for imaging of sacroiliitis, including several new imaging techniques. Key Points. • MRI is the modality of choice for suspected inflammatory sacroiliitis, including a joint-line-specific sequence for optimal evaluation of the bone-cartilage interface to improve detection of erosions.
PD) yet long enough to be more fluid sensitive (like a T2) For STIR sequence, TI (inversion time) should be 140-150 at 1.5T. Patient in supine position as straight as possible. Coronal obliques parallel to sacral body, cover bone only. include L3/L4 disc space at top of FOV to bottom of coccyx.
6 sie 2024 · Conclusion A standardised IAP for SIJ MRI for diagnostic ascertainment of sacroiliitis is recommended and should be composed of at least four sequences that include imaging in two planes and optimally visualise inflammation, structural damage and the bone–cartilage interface. INTRODUCTION.
6 kwi 2024 · SIJ imaging is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring axial spondyloarthropathies. Imaging tools like radiographs, CT scans, and MRI are valuable, with MRI being especially effective in early inflammatory sacroiliitis detection.
17 sie 2024 · Imaging findings typical of SpA at the sacroiliac joints include subchondral erosions and sclerosis, fatty bone marrow replacement at the sites of previous sacroiliitis, BME surrounding the SI joint as a sign of active inflammation, and ultimately, the ankylosis of the SI joints .
23 mar 2023 · The MRI sacroiliac joint protocol encompasses a set of MRI sequences for the routine assessment of sacroiliac joints. Note: This article aims to frame a general concept of an MRI protocol for the assessment of the sacroiliac joint.
