Abstract

BACKGROUND: Sacroiliitis is a hallmark of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and early detection plays an important role in managing the condition effectively. MRI is commonly used for diagnosing sacroiliitis, traditional methods often depend on subjective interpretation or limited automation which can introduce variability in diagnoses. The integration of semi-supervised segmentation and radiomics features may reduce reliance on expert interpretation and the need for large annotated datasets, potentially enhancing diagnostic workflows.
