Abstract
The Hong Kong Society of Rheumatology (HKSR) has developed evidence-based position statements on the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). A special interest group (SIG) developed the statements based on the literature review of the following research questions: 1) In whom should SI joint MRI be done to diagnose axSpA? 2) Should spine MRI be performed for diagnosis of axSpA? 3) Should spine and SI joint MRI be used in the assessment and monitoring of disease activity? 4) Which MRI sequence(s) should be used in axSpA? These statements have at least 75% agreement from voting rheumatology fellows of HKSR, and are developed to serve as local practice guidelines for rheumatologists and musculoskeletal radiologists in the management of axSpA.
