Low Back Pain and Suspicion of Axial Spondyloarthritis – Does the MRI Protocol Matter?

  • Summary

  • This episode of RheumaCast deals the long-anticipated global consensus on MRI protocols for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

    Experts from ASAS and SPARTAN, including radiologists and rheumatologists, have developed a comprehensive, standardized imaging protocol designed to maximize diagnostic accuracy and aid early identification of axSpA. The protocol specifies a four-sequence approach focusing on inflammation, structural damage, and bone-cartilage interface visualization—essential elements to ensure consistency in detecting sacroiliitis and distinguishing it from other conditions.

    This podcast is based on the publication ⁠Lambert R, et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2024 Aug 6:ard-2024-225882⁠

    and is developed with NotebookLM.
