Abstract

This article describes radiological possibilities in musculoskeletal imaging of patients with suspected spondyloarthritis, with point on new imaging methods. We show which method is the best to use in a certain scenario, and when to do US and when use CT, MR or tomosyntesis. We have to be mindful about the radiation doses and X-ray usage, taking into account the age of the patient and what benefits a certain method would bring.
