Synopsis

To assess the diagnostic performance of three-dimensional ultrashort echo time sequence (3D-UTE) in bone erosion detection of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) in patients with clinically confirmed ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to test whether SIJ cartilage T2* values might help in identification of patients with AS.
