Abstract:
Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing and forecasting treatment outcomes in axial spondyloarthritis. Conventional radiography may overlook patients in the initial stages of the disease, while MRI is sensitive in identifying inflammation early on. Computed tomography reliably detects structural abnormalities. Practicing rheumatologists must possess a fundamental understanding of interpreting both active inflammatory and structural lesions in axial spondyloarthritis.
