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.
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.
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. Protocol specifics will vary depending on MRI scanner type, specific hardware and software, radiologist and ...
A complete diagnostic MRI examination of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) is required. Two sequences are required for scoring and classification purposes.
