Disease activity in patients with synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome: the utility of the SPARCC MRI scoring system for assessment of axial spine involvement.

CONCLUSIONS: The modified SPARCC score proposed in this study exhibits promising potential in the evaluation of extensive radiographic damage in SAPHO and the reflection the disease activity. Our study suggests that MRI could be used together with other parameters of disease activity in the assessment of symptomatic SAPHO patients with spine involvement.
