AI Article Synopsis
- Spinal imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing axial spondyloarthritis (a type of arthritis that affects the spine) by identifying specific findings in the right clinical context and assessing disease activity.
- In May 2022, the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) updated and validated definitions for inflammatory and structural lesions in the spine related to axial spondyloarthritis.
- This paper aims to illustrate imaging findings in patients with axial spondyloarthritis, incorporating the latest ASAS definitions and highlighting potential complications in those with long-term disease.
Article Abstract
Spinal imaging may support the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis when typical findings are recognized in an appropriate clinical context and it can also indicate disease activity. In May 2022, the definitions for inflammatory and structural spinal lesions in axial spondyloarthritis were updated and validated by the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) working group. The aims of this paper are to demonstrate and describe imaging findings of the spine in patients with axial SpA, including the latest updated definitions by the ASAS, and to show complications in patients with long-standing disease.
