Sažetak

Seronegative spondyloarthritides (SpA) is a group of inflammatory rheumatic diseases characterized by inflammation of the sacroiliac joints and/or the spine, enthesitis and peripheral arthritis. MRI is the imaging method of choice for visualization of the sacroiliac joint and spine according to the new ASAS classification criteria for axial SpA. It can visualize both active inflammation and structural damage and is not associated with radiation exposure. MRI findings characteristic for active disease include bone marrow edema and contrast enhancement of the bone marrow and the joint space, while chronic changes include bone erosions, sclerosis, periarticular fatty tissue accumulation, bone spurs and ankylosis. MRI has higher sensitivity comparing to other radiological modalities. MRI is the most important diagnostic imaging method in early SpA. It is sensitive and reliable for objective monitoring of the disease process and it is essential in the management of patients with SpA.
