Sacroiliac damage on MRI in axial spondyloarthritis and chronic back pain, women with postpartum back pain, runners and healthy subjects
Structural changes resembling axSpA may occur in individuals who do not have axSpA, but at a lower rate than inflammatory changes. Erosions and fatty lesions are most specific. Using cut-off definitions for these structural lesions results in good discrimination between axSpA and non-axSpA. In axSpA, structural lesions primarily occur in concordance with ongoing inflammation.
