Detection of Sacroiliitis by Short-tau Inversion Recovery and T2-weighted Turbo Spin Echo Sequences: Results from the SIMACT Study.

CONCLUSION: T2-FS sequences improve image quality and hence the detection of osteitis compared to the PD-STIR sequence. More patients were classified as axSpA based on a positive MRI by T2-FS. PMID: 30647167 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
