    Abstract Objective: To begin evaluating deep learning (DL)-automated quantification of knee joint effusion-synovitis via the OMERACT filter.
    Methods: A DL algorithm previously trained on Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) knee MRI automatically quantified effusion volume in MRI of 53 OAI subjects, which were also scored semi-quantitatively via KIMRISS and MOAKS by 2-6 readers.
    Results: DL-measured knee effusion correlated significantly with experts' assessments (Kendall's tau 0.34-0.43) CONCLUSION: The close correlation of automated DL knee joint effusion quantification to KIMRISS manual semi-quantitative scoring demonstrated its criterion validity. Further assessments of discrimination and truth vs. clinical outcomes are still needed to fully satisfy OMERACT filter requirements.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Recent technical advances in computed tomography (CT) such as low-dose CT and dual-energy techniques open new applications for this imaging modality in clinical practice and for research purposes. This article will discuss the latest innovations and give a perspective on future developments.
    Recent findings: Low-dose CT has increasingly been used for assessing structural changes at the sacroiliac joints and the spine. It has developed into a method with similar or even lower radiation exposure than radiography while outperforming radiography for lesion detection. Despite being incompatible with low-dose scanning, some studies have shown that dual-energy CT can provide additional information that is otherwise only assessable with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, it is unclear whether this additional information is reliable enough and if it would justify the additional radiation exposure, i.e. whether the performance of dual-energy CT is close enough to MRI to replace it in clinical practice. While the role of dual-energy CT in patients with axial spondyloarthritis remains to be established, low-dose CT has developed to an appropriate modality that should replace radiography in many circumstances and might supplement MRI.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Recent developments in low-dose computed tomography (ldCT) have greatly reduced radiation exposure levels. This article reviews what a ldCT is and its use and limitations for imaging axial spondyloarthritis.
    Recent findings: Detection of structural damage in bone with CT is far superior to radiography and ldCT of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) can now be done at radiation exposure levels equivalent to, or even less than, conventional radiography. ldCT should be considered a 'first-choice' test for arthritis imaging, and wherever available, SIJ ldCT may completely replace conventional radiography. Radiation exposure in the spine with ldCT is lower than conventional CT. However, it is unclear whether the additional information regarding structural damage changes in the spine provided by ldCT will alter patient management sufficiently often to merit switching from spinal radiography to ldCT in routine clinical practice. In addition, ldCT cannot assess osteitis disease activity for which MRI remains the best test.
    Summary: ldCT of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) can be done at radiation exposure levels equivalent to, or less than, radiography and ldCT may completely replace SIJ radiography. However, the role of spinal ldCT for spondyloarthritis is not clear and MRI is far superior for detecting disease activity.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To explore how imaging may assist diagnosing axial spondyloarthritis in rheumatology practice.
    Recent findings: A diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis is based on pattern recognition by synthesizing clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings. In health care settings providing low threshold access to advanced imaging, sacroiliac joint MRI is the preferred imaging modality in clinically suspected axial spondyloarthritis. In daily routine, the optimum protocol to assess suspected inflammatory back pain combines sacroiliac joint and spine MRI fitting a 30-min slot. Contextual assessment of concomitant structural and active MRI lesions is key to enhance diagnostic utility. In women with postpartum back pain suggestive of axial spondyloarthritis, recent reports advocate waiting 6-12 months after delivery before acquiring sacroiliac joint MRI. Major unmet needs are consistent MRI protocols, standardized training modules on how to evaluate axial MRI, and timely dissemination of imaging advances into mainstream practice both in rheumatology and in radiology. In rheumatology practice, MRI has become indispensable to help diagnose early axial spondyloarthritis. However, major gaps in training and knowledge transfer to daily care need to be closed.

    Abstract Concerns have been raised that randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) in non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) might be failing to identify patients that best show differences in clinical response rates between those receiving active drug and those receiving placebo therapies; in addition, some studies might even be showing spurious differences in responses to TNF and IL-17 inhibitor therapies. In particular, the most recent phase III RCTs in nr-axSpA have reported variable and generally lower response rates than observed in phase III trials of patients with ankylosing spondylitis and in trials conducted a decade ago in patients with early axSpA who were selected on the basis of axial inflammation evident on MRI scans. We argue that these observations at least partly reflect an RCT design that does not take full advantage of MRI to select patients who are responsive to therapy because the current MRI-based inclusion criteria cannot identify patients with axSpA with sufficient specificity. We propose that future studies should be designed using revised patient inclusion criteria based on expanded MRI evaluation and the application of data-driven definitions of a positive MRI for inflammatory and structural lesions typical of axSpA reported in an international multicentre analysis of MRI scans from the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) classification cohort.

    Abstract Objective: (1) To compare the capacity to detect sacroiliac joint (SIJ) erosions and baseline-to-week 104 change in erosions between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiographs in recent-onset axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA); and (2) to compare treatment-discriminatory capacities of MRI and radiographic scores for erosion detection in patients receiving etanercept in the Effect of Etanercept on Symptoms and Objective Inflammation in Nonradiographic axSpA (EMBARK) trial vs controls in the DESIR (
    Methods: Anonymized SIJ MRI and radiographs were assessed at patient and joint surface levels. Three readers evaluated MRI; 3 different readers evaluated radiographs. Final scores for comparison of radiographs and MRI for detection of erosions were assigned based on agreement of ≥ 2 of 3 readers' assessments.
    Results: At baseline, discordance in erosion detection between imaging methods was more frequent for MRI erosions in the absence of radiographic erosions (48/224 [21.4%] patients) than for radiographic erosions in the absence of MRI erosions (14/224 [6.3%] patients;
    Conclusion: In recent-onset axSpA, SIJ erosions and erosion change were observed more frequently on MRI than radiography. The significance of interval improvement of MRI erosions warrants further research. [ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01258738, NCT01648907].
