From the Rheumazentrum Ruhrgebiet, Herne, Ruhr-University Bochum, Herne, Germany; and the Department of Rheumatology, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Objective: The volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique can visualize erosive cartilage defects in peripheral joints. We evaluated the ability of VIBE to detect erosions in sacroiliac joints (SIJ) of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) compared to the established T1-weighted MRI sequence and computed tomography (CT).
Methods: MRI (T1-weighted and VIBE) and CT scans of SIJ of 109 patients with axSpA were evaluated by 2 blinded readers based on SIJ quadrants (SQ).

Objective: The biologically active molecule used in positron emission tomography (PET) for depiction of osteoblastic activity is 18F-labeled fluoride (18F-F). We examined whether inflammatory or chronic changes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) and the spines of patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are linked to osteoblastic activity, assessed by PET/MRI.
Methods: Thirteen patients with AS (mean age 37.
