Overview
MRI
- May have a role in early diagnosis of sacroiliitis
- Synovial enhancement on MR correlates with disease activity measured by inflammatory mediators
- Superior to CT in detection of cartilage, bone erosions, and subchondral bone changes
- Increased T2 signal correlates with edema or vascularized fibrous tissue
- Useful in following treatment results in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis
