Update of Imaging in the diagnosis and management of axial spondyloarthritis

Résumé

Imaging of the spine and sacroiliac joints has acquired a central role in the diagnosis and classification of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in the earliest phases of the disease. New definitions of specific imaging lesions, particularly in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have been recently updated and revised by the ASAS MRI working group to reach a standardized understanding and diagnosis of axSpA among rheumatologists. Recognizing the misleading pitfalls of MRI lesions and differential diagnosis also represents an essential issue in clinical practice to avoid false-positive findings and establish the diagnosis of axSpA with careful regard to the clinical context, clinical signs, and biological tests. This review summarizes the current evidence on the different imaging modalities of the sacroiliac joints and the spine with their application in the clinical setting of SpA and their main pitfalls; it also highlights the newest emerging imaging techniques.
