Background MRI is frequently used for early diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). However, evaluation is time-consuming and requires profound expertise because noninflammatory degenerative changes can mimic axSpA, and early signs may therefor...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop a deep learning algorithm for detection of active inflammatory sacroiliitis in short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequence MRI.
BACKGROUND: Radiographs of the sacroiliac joints are commonly used for the diagnosis and classification of axial spondyloarthritis. The aim of this study was to develop and validate an artificial neural network for the detection of definite radiograp...
