Diagnosis of early sacroiliitis in seronegative spondyloarthropathies by DWI and correlation of clinical and laboratory findings with ADC values.

TLDR
DWI, by measuring ADC values, adds significant information in the early diagnosis of sacroiliitis and may help to evaluate the efficiency of the treatment.

A diffusion-based quantification technique for assessment of sacroiliitis in adolescents with enthesitis-related arthritis

TL;DR: A method for quantifying the severity of inflammation in the SIJs in ERA using ADC measurements is described and provisionally validated, which is quick, is reproducible and could potentially be automated.

The role of imaging in the diagnosis and management of axial spondyloarthritis.

TL;DR: MRI of the sacroiliac joints is increasingly acknowledged as being indispensable in the early diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and as having a prominent role in the prognosis and classification of axSpA.

Early sacroiliitis in patients with spondyloarthropathy: evaluation with dynamic gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging

TL;DR: Contrast-enhanced MR imaging allows detection of sacroiliitis in early stages of back pain, and significantly different degrees of enhancement related to the patients' degree of pain were clearly detected.
