This article discusses the natural course of degenerative changes in the spine in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) over a 10-year period. The study analyzed radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients in the DESIR cohort and found that degenerative changes were prevalent in both imaging techniques. The most frequent degenerative changes observed on radiographs were loss of disk height, osteophytes, and facet joint osteoarthritis. On MRI, the most frequent degenerative changes were disk degeneration, high-intensity zone, Schmorl's node without edema, and disk protrusion. The study concludes that the prevalence of spinal degenerative changes is high in axSpA patients, with the number of changes increasing over time. [Extracted from the article]

Objective: MRI of small joints plays an important role in the early detection and early treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Despite its sensitivity to demonstrate inflammation, clinical use is hampered by accessibility, long scan time, intravenous contrast, and consequent high costs. To improve the feasibility of MRI implementation in clinical practice, we introduce a modified Dixon sequence, which does not require contrast and reduces total acquisition time to 6 min. Because the reliability in relation to conventional MRI sequences is unknown, we determined this. Methods: In 29 consecutive early arthritis patients, coronal and axial T2-weighted modified Dixon acquisitions on 3.0 T MRI scanner were acquired from metacarpophalangeal 2–5 to the wrist, followed by the standard contrast-enhanced protocol on 1.5 T extremity MRI. Two readers scored osteitis, synovitis and tenosynovitis (summed as total MRI-inflammation), and erosions (all summed as total Rheumatoid Arthritis MRI Score (RAMRIS)). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) between readers, and comparing the two sequences, were studied. Spearman correlations were determined. Results: Performance between readers was good/excellent. Comparing modified Dixon and conventional sequences revealed good/excellent reliability: ICC for total MRI-inflammation score was 0.84 (95% CI:0.70–0.92), for erosions 0.90 (95% CI:0.79–0.96), and for the total RAMRIS score 0.88 (95% CI:0.77–0.94). The scores of total MRI-inflammation, total erosions, and total RAMRIS were highly correlated (ρ = 0.80, ρ = 0.81, ρ = 0.82, respectively). Conclusion: The modified Dixon protocol is reliable compared to the conventional MRI protocol, suggesting it is accurate to detect MRI inflammation. The good correlation may be the first step towards a patient-friendly, short and affordable MRI protocol, which can facilitate the implementation of MRI for early detection of inflammation in rheumatology practice.

MRI-detected inflammation around the extensor tendons of metacarpophalangeal (MCP-) joints is prevalent in RA and poses a markedly increased risk of RA development when present in arthralgia patients. Such inflammation is called ‘peritendinitis’ since anatomy literature reports no presence of a tenosynovial sheath at these tendons. However, the presence or absence of tenosynovium at these extensor tendons has never been studied. Therefore, an anatomical and histological study of extensor tendons at the MCP-joints of three embalmed human hands was performed. Immunohistochemical staining showed the presence of markers for synovial macrophages and fibroblast-like synoviocytes bordering a natural dorsal space next to the extensor tendon, suggesting the presence of a synovial lining. This implies that contrast-enhancement on MRI around extensor tendons at MCP-joints observed in early RA and pre-RA likely represents tenosynovitis and that inflammation of this synovial tissue is an early feature of RA.

Crystal arthropathies are a group of joint disorders due to deposition of crystals in and around joints, which lead to joint destruction and soft tissue masses. Clinical presentation is variable and diagnosis might be challenging. Therefore, first-line imaging of ultrasound in accessible joints is recommended to assess crystal arthropathies; however, DECT is a useful adjunct to differentiate gout from CPPD.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of small joints sensitively detects inflammation. This inflammation, and tenosynovitis in particular, has been shown to predict rheumatoid arthritis (RA) development in arthralgia patients. These data have predominantly been acquired on 1.0–1.5 T MRI. However, 3.0 T is now commonly used in practice. Evidence on the comparability of these field strengths is scarce and has never included subtle inflammation in arthralgia patients or tenosynovitis. Therefore, we assessed the comparability of 1.5 T and 3.0 T in detecting subclinical inflammation in arthralgia patients. A total of 2968 locations (joints, bones, tendon sheaths) in the hands and forefeet of 28 patients with small-joint arthralgia, at risk for RA, were imaged on both 1.5 and 3.0 T MRI. Two blinded readers independently scored erosions, osteitis, synovitis, and tenosynovitis, in line with the Rheumatoid Arthritis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (RAMRIS). Features were summed into inflammation (osteitis, synovitis, tenosynovitis) and RAMRIS (inflammation and erosions). Agreement was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for continuous scores and after dichotomization into presence or absence of inflammation, on patient and location levels. Interreader ICCs were excellent (> 0.90). Comparing 1.5 and 3.0 T revealed an ICC of 0.90 for inflammation and RAMRIS. ICCs for individual inflammation features were: tenosynovitis 0.87 (95% confidence interval 0.74–0.94), synovitis 0.65 (0.24–0.84), and osteitis 0.96 (0.91–0.98). Agreement was 83% for inflammation and 89% for RAMRIS. Analyses on the location level showed similar results. Agreement on subclinical inflammation between 1.5 T and 3.0 T was excellent. Although synovitis scores were slightly different, synovitis often occurs simultaneously with other inflammatory signs, suggesting that scientific results on the predictive value of MRI-detected inflammation for RA, obtained on 1.5 T MRI, can be generalized to 3.0 T MRI.

Ankle and distal radius fractures are two of the most common musculoskeletal injuries. Over the last decades their incidences have risen due to increasing participation in athletic activities and ageing of the population. Current national and international protocols recommend frequent outpatient clinic visits in which radiographs of the fractured extremity are obtained. The general aim of this thesis was to evaluate the added value of routine radiography in the follow-up of ankle and distal radius fractures. Specifically, we were interested in investigating whether a follow-up protocol which focuses on reducing the number of routine follow-up radiographs was able to deliver care that was comparable to the current standard of care, but without sacrificing quality nor safety, whilst increasing cost-effectiveness. Chapter 1 provides background information on the epidemiology of ankle and distal radius fractures. It also outlines the current standard of care during treatment and follow-up of the affected patients. In chapter 2 an overview of the current literature on routine radiography in extremity fractures is given. Despite the common occurrence of extremity fractures, limited data were available on the added value of routine radiography at the time that our systematic review was performed in 2018. We identified eleven studies; however, due to theirretrospective design and thus incumbent biases, the resultant quality or certainty of the evidence was considered low. Despite this, the treatment plan was modified in a very small percentage of the cases (ranging from 0 to 2.6%); therefore, the added value of routine radiography seems limited.Following our review in 2018, we conducted a retrospective analysis in four level 1 trauma centres in the Netherlands in order to determine the impact of routine radiographs on treatment strategy for patients with ankle fractures. Chapter 3 illustrates that, in accordance with studies outlined in chapter 2, the use of routine radiographs in the follow-up of ankle fracture patients in the Netherlands was common. In total, 80% of radiographs obtained after more than three weeks of follow-up were considered routine,and only 1.2% of these radiographs resulted in a change of treatment strategy. However, due to its retrospective design, the strength of the evidence was also considered low given its limitations.Chapters 4 and 5 report on the results of a multi-centre randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which participants with an ankle fracture were randomized between the current standard of care consisting of routine follow-up radiography (routine care) and a reduced imaging follow-up regimen. The clinical and functional outcomes outlined in chapter 4 suggest that routine radiographs at week 6 and 12 can be omitted without compromising treatment outcomes. Specifically, functional outcome measured with the Olerud and Molander Ankle Score was non-inferior in the reduced imaging group, while secondary outcomes, such as American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) foot and ankle scores, Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), pain, health perception and self-perceived recovery did not differ between groups. The median number of radiographs obtained was 4 in the reduced imaging group and 5 in the routine care group (a reduction of 20%). Similar numbers and types of complications were observed in both groups; therefore, modifying the current standard of care can be implemented without sacrificing quality nor safety. In chapter 5 the results of the economic evaluation of the reduced-imaging follow-up strategy for ankle fracture patients are presented. Patients randomized to reduced imaging had a similar HRQoL in comparison with patients randomized to routine care. Costs for radiographic imaging were significantly lower in the reduced imaging group (a difference of €48 (95% CI: €-72 to €-28)). Other costs, including overall costs did not statistically differ between the groups. The probability of cost-effectiveness was 0.45 at a willingness-to-pay of €20,000 per QALY. Chapters 6 and 7 report on the outcomes from the same RCT, but which focused on patients with a fracture of the distal radius. Similar to the results of the RCT on anklefractures, functional outcome (measured with the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire [DASH]) was no worse than the reduced imaging group (chapter 6). Secondary outcomes such as HRQoL, pain and complications demonstrated similar outcomes between the groups. The number of radiographs obtained per patient decreased 25% to median 3 in the reduced imaging group from median 4 in the routine care group. The results of the economic evaluation described in chapter 7 demonstrated similarities to the results of the study on ankle fractures. HRQoL was similar, and costs for radiographic imaging were significantly lower in the reduced imaging group (this reduction was €48 per patient (95% CI: -68 to -27)). The probability of cost-effectiveness was 0.8 to 0.9 at willingness-to-pay of €20,000 to €80,000 per QALY.Following these analyses, we investigated which factors could encourage or discourage physicians to modify their practice behaviours, namely reduce their reliance on routine follow-up radiographs of extremities. These so-called “barriers and facilitators” were queried among orthopaedic trauma surgeons in the Netherlands (chapter 8). In total, 130 respondents (57%) completed the questionnaire, 71% indicated that they would stop ordering routine radiographs if they demonstrated no added value. In short, we identified three facilitators which were found to be independent predictors for the intention to de-implement routine radiographs: 1) ‘the reduced imaging follow-up protocol will lead to lower healthcare costs’; 2) ‘incorporation of the reduced imaging follow-up in regional protocols’; and 3) ‘reduced imaging will result in time-savings for the patient’. There was no barrier that was found to be an independent predictor for the intention to reduce the reliance on routine radiographs. With the three facilitators in mind, a proper de-implementation strategy can be drafted for the Netherlands, and other populations similar as ours. In chapter 9, I present general conclusions and discuss the clinical implications and future perspectives regarding the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of routine radiography in ankle and distal radius fractures. This large multi-center study demonstrates that the number of routine radiographs in those with ankle and distal radius fractures can be reduced without sacrificing quality nor safety, while resulting in more cost-effective care

- Abstract
Background: A range of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) MRI protocols are used in clinical practice but not all were specifically designed for diagnostic ascertainment. This can be confusing and no standard diagnostic SIJ MRI protocol is currently accepted worldwide., Objective: To develop a standardised MRI image acquisition protocol (IAP) for diagnostic ascertainment of sacroiliitis., Methods: 13 radiologist members of Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) and the SpondyloArthritis Research and Treatment Network (SPARTAN) plus two rheumatologists participated in a consensus exercise. A draft IAP was circulated with background information and online examples. Feedback on all issues was tabulated and recirculated. The remaining points of contention were resolved and the revised IAP was presented to the entire ASAS membership., Results: A minimum four-sequence IAP is recommended for diagnostic ascertainment of sacroiliitis and its differential diagnoses meeting the following requirements. Three semicoronal sequences, parallel to the dorsal cortex of the S2 vertebral body, should include sequences sensitive for detection of (1) changes in fat signal and structural damage with T1-weighting; (2) active inflammation, being T2-weighted with fat suppression; (3) bone erosion optimally depicting the bone-cartilage interface of the articular surface and (4) a semiaxial sequence sensitive for detection of inflammation. The IAP was approved at the 2022 ASAS annual meeting with 91% of the membership in favour., Conclusion: A standardised IAP for SIJ MRI for diagnostic ascertainment of sacroiliitis is recommended and should be composed of at least four sequences that include imaging in two planes and optimally visualise inflammation, structural damage and the bone-cartilage interface., Competing Interests: Competing interests: RGWL: consulting fees from CARE Arthritis and Image Analysis Group.

- Abstract
Objectives: Apply a modified Delphi-based approach and produce a practical, radiology-specific set of definitions for interpretation and standardization of the multiple MRI findings in axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA), specifically to aid the general radiologist with a musculoskeletal interest, working with gold standard basic MRI protocols., Materials and Methods: We report the results of a modified Delphi-based consensus of 35 experts from 13 countries in the Arthritis Subcommittee of the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR). Seventeen definitions were created (i.e., nine for the spine and eight for the sacroiliac joint) and two Delphi rounds were conducted on an electronic database, collated and revised by the project leader with agreement. Group leads were appointed for each definition following the first round. Final definitions included only those that reached a consensus > 80%; if > 50% agreed on exclusion consensus, definitions were excluded. Final results have been shared during the Arthritis meeting at the Annual ESSR Congress., Results: Fourteen definitions, eight for the spine and six for the sacroiliac joint were agreed for standardized reporting. Andersson's, anterior corner sclerotic and costovertebral joint inflammatory lesions of the spine, with active and non-active erosions, and fat metaplasia of the sacroiliac joint reaching the highest consensus (≥ 95%). More than 50% of the experts agreed to exclude joint space inflammation in the sacroiliac joint and tissue backfill. Syndesmophytes reached 76% agreement., Conclusions: Agreed definitions by expert radiologists using a modified Delphi process, should allow standardized actionable radiology reports and clarity in reporting terminology of ax-SpA., Clinical Relevance Statement: The proposed definitions will support reporting from musculoskeletal and general radiologists working with gold-standard basic MRI, improve confidence in lesion assessment, and standardize terminology to provide actionable reports on MRI in patients with ax-SpA., Key Points: Experts applied a modified Delphi method to optimize the definitions of MRI findings of ax-SpA. After two Delphi rounds and one in-person meeting, fourteen definitions reached the agreement threshold. These consensus-based definitions will aid in actionable reporting specifically for the general radiologist with a musculoskeletal interest., (© 2024. Crown.)

- Abstract
Objectives: To assess the association of posterior element (PE) and facet joint (FJ) inflammation with subsequent new FJ ankylosis (FJA) on MRI, in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA)., Methods: Patients from the Sensitive Imaging in Ankylosing Spondylitis cohort, inclusion criteria r-axSpA and ≥1 radiographic spinal syndesmophyte, were studied. MRI of the full spinal was performed at baseline, 1 and 2 years. PE/FJ inflammatory lesions and FJA were assessed per vertebral unit (VU) level by three readers. With multilevel time-lagged autoregressive generalised estimated equations, the association between PE/FJ inflammation and the subsequent development of FJA was investigated, taking the reader and VU levels into account., Results: Out of the 58 patients with at least 2 reader scores available, mean age 49 (SD 10) years, 84% men, 59% had baseline PE inflammation, 24% had FJ inflammation and 26% had FJA. PE inflammation was more prevalent in the lower thoracic spine and FJ inflammation in the upper thoracic spine. VU with PE or FJ inflammation showed subsequent new FJA in two and one VU levels, respectively. The probability of developing FJA doubled with prior FJ inflammation. In multilevel analysis, FJ inflammation was associated with subsequent FJA (OR=3.8, 95% CI: 1.5 to 9.8), while no association was found between PE inflammation and new FJA (OR=1.2 (0.6-2.4))., Conclusions: FJ inflammation is rare in severe r-axSpA, but when present, the likelihood of developing subsequent FJA is over three times higher compared with FJ without inflammation. This finding contributes to the understanding of the relationship between inflammation and ankylosis at the same anatomical location in patients with axSpA., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

- Abstract
Whereas previous projects attempted to standardize imaging in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), few studies have been published about the need for specific details regarding the image acquisition and lesions that may be less familiar to general radiologists. This work reports consensus recommendations developed by the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) that aim to standardize the imaging reports in patients suspected of having or with known axSpA. A task force consisting of radiologists and rheumatologists from ASAS and one patient representative formulated two surveys that were completed by ASAS members. The results of these surveys led to the development of 10 recommendations that were endorsed by 73% (43 of 59) of ASAS members. The recommendations are targeted to the radiologist and include best practices for the inclusion of clinical information, technical details, image quality, and imaging findings in radiology reports. These recommendations also emphasize that imaging findings that indicate differential diagnoses and referral suggestions should be included in the concluding section of the radiology report. With these recommendations, ASAS aims to improve the diagnostic process and care for patients suspected of having or with known axSpA., (© RSNA, 2024 See also the editorial by Gandikota in this issue.)

- Abstract
Artificial intelligence techniques, specifically deep learning, have already affected daily life in a wide range of areas. Likewise, initial applications have been explored in rheumatology. Deep learning might not easily surpass the accuracy of classic techniques when performing classification or regression on low-dimensional numerical data. With images as input, however, deep learning has become so successful that it has already outperformed the majority of conventional image-processing techniques developed during the past 50 years. As with any new imaging technology, rheumatologists and radiologists need to consider adapting their arsenal of diagnostic, prognostic and monitoring tools, and even their clinical role and collaborations. This adaptation requires a basic understanding of the technical background of deep learning, to efficiently utilize its benefits but also to recognize its drawbacks and pitfalls, as blindly relying on deep learning might be at odds with its capabilities. To facilitate such an understanding, it is necessary to provide an overview of deep-learning techniques for automatic image analysis in detecting, quantifying, predicting and monitoring rheumatic diseases, and of currently published deep-learning applications in radiological imaging for rheumatology, with critical assessment of possible limitations, errors and confounders, and conceivable consequences for rheumatologists and radiologists in clinical practice., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Background: The Computed Tomography Syndesmophyte Score (CTSS) was developed as a reliable and sensitive tool to assess syndesmophytes in low-dose CT images of the entire spine in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The original paper provided sparce examples of the CTSS grades., Objectives: Provide an atlas tailored to assist readers in understanding and employing the CTSS method., Methods: In this paper, illustrations of the different grades and views of the CTSS are presented. CTSS is used to measure bone formation in the spine of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), in the form of syndesmophytes. In both the sagittal and coronal planes, syndesmophytes can be graded from 0 to 3 over 23 vertebral units starting at C2 and ending at S1. The CTSS ranges from 0 (absence of axSpA-related syndesmophytes) to 552 (total ankylosis of the spine)., Results: The current atlas contains low-dose CT images of the spine without lesions (for reference) and all grades of syndesmophytes in different planes used in the CTSS. Examples are arranged per spinal segment (cervical, thoracic and lumbar)., Conclusions: These images can be used to assist any reader in the assessment of syndesmophytes on (low-dose) CT in patients with axSpA., Competing Interests: Competing interests: MLM — none.

40. Needling and Lavage in Rotator Cuff Calcific Tendinitis: Ultrasound-Guided Technique.
- Author

Ten Hove FL, de Witte PB, Reijnierse M, and Navas A
- Abstract
Background: Rotator cuff calcific tendinitis (RCCT) is a commonly occurring disease, with a prevalence of up to 42.5% in patients with shoulder pain
1,2 . RCCT is characterized by hydroxyapatite deposits in the tendons of the rotator cuff and is considered a self-limiting disease that can be treated nonoperatively3 . However, in a substantial group of patients, RCCT can have a very disabling and long-lasting course1,4 , requiring additional treatment. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous needling and lavage (i.e., barbotage) is a safe and effective treatment option for RCCT5 . In the present article, we focus on the 1-needle barbotage technique utilized in combination with an injection of corticosteroids in the subacromial bursa., Description: It must be emphasized that symptomatic RCCT should be confirmed before barbotage is performed. Therefore, we recommend a diagnostic ultrasound and/or physical examination prior to the barbotage. Barbotage is performed under ultrasound guidance with the patient in the supine position. After sterile preparation and localization of the calcified deposit(s), local anesthesia in the soft tissue (10 mL lidocaine 1%) is administered. Next, the subacromial bursa is injected with 4 mL bupivacaine (5 mg/mL) and 1 mL methylprednisolone (40 mg/mL) with use of a 21G needle. The deposit(s) are then punctured with use of an 18G needle. When the tip of the needle is in the center of the deposit(s), they are flushed with a 0.9% saline solution and the dissolved calcium re-enters the syringe passively. This process is repeated several times until no more calcium enters the syringe. In the case of solid deposits, it may not be possible to aspirate calcium; if so, an attempt to fragment the deposits by repeated perforations, and thus promote resorption, can be made. Postoperatively, patients are instructed to take analgesics and to cool the shoulder., Alternatives: RCTT can initially be treated nonoperatively with rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and/or physiotherapy3 . If the initial nonoperative treatment fails, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), corticosteroid injections, and/or barbotage can be considered8 . In severe chronic recalcitrant cases, arthroscopic debridement and/or removal can be performed as a last resort., Rationale: Both barbotage and ESWT result in a reduction of calcific deposits, as well as significant pain reduction and improvement of function8 . No standard of care has been established until now; however, several prior meta-analyses concluded that barbotage is the most effective treatment option, with superior clinical outcomes after 1 to 2 years of follow-up9-11 . No difference in complication rates has been reported between the various minimally invasive techniques. The purpose of barbotage is to stimulate the resorption process, which is promoted by the perforation of the deposits. Clinical outcomes are not associated with the success of the aspiration7,12 . Patients with ≥1 larger deposit show greater improvement following barbotage than patients with small deposits12 , in contrast with ESWT, in which larger deposits have been associated with worse outcomes. The inferior outcome of barbotage in patients with small deposits remains the subject of debate, but outcomes may be confounded by the fact that patients with smaller deposits might be less symptomatic at baseline and are therefore less likely to demonstrate improvement4 ., Expected Outcomes: In the first weeks after barbotage, there is generally a substantial reduction in symptoms. Symptoms can recur at around 3 months, presumably because the effect of the corticosteroids is temporary5 . After 6 months and 1 year, patients show substantial improvement in pain, shoulder function, and quality of life, with results superior to those shown for subacromial injections and ESWT9,10,13,14 . At 5 years postoperatively, there are no significant differences in outcomes between barbotage and subacromial injections15 . This may demonstrate a self-limiting course in the long term., Important Tips: Good candidates for barbotage are those with RCCT who have ≥1 large calcific deposit.If a patient has a solid deposit, the physician can gently rotate and repeatedly puncture the deposit to promote disaggregation and fragmentation.Barbotage generally results in adequate pain relief and functional improvement even in patients in whom calcium deposits cannot be aspirated12 ., Acronyms and Abbreviations: SAI = injection in the subacromial bursaNSAIDs = nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs., Competing Interests: Disclosure: The Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest forms are provided with the online version of the article (http://links.lww.com/JBJSEST/A433)., (Copyright © 2024 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Incorporated.)- Published

Reijnierse M and Griffith JF
- Abstract
Radiography is the appropriate initial imaging modality to assess for midfoot and forefoot pathology before turning to advanced imaging techniques. While most lesions of the mid- and forefoot can be diagnosed clinically, the exact nature and severity of the pathology is often unclear. This review addresses the use of the ultrasound, as well as the added value of magnetic resonance imaging, in diagnosing conditions of the midfoot and forefoot. Ultrasound allows a dynamic assessment as well as enabling imaging-guided interventions for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Practical tips for optimal examination of this area with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging are provided. Metatarsal stress fracture, Chopart's injury, Lisfranc injury, as well as the 1
st metatarsophalangeal joint injury and lesser metatarsophalangeal plantar plate injury are injuries unique to the mid- and forefoot. The imaging anatomy of the 1st and lesser metatarsophalangeal joints is reviewed, as such knowledge is key to correctly assessing injury of these joints. Characteristic imaging features of masses commonly encountered in the mid- and forefoot, such as ganglion cyst, Morton neuroma, gouty tophus, plantar fibroma, foreign body granuloma, and leiomyoma are reviewed. The use of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in assessing degenerative and inflammatory joint disorders, and in particular rheumatoid arthritis, of the mid- and forefoot region is also reviewed. In summary, when necessary, most lesions of the mid-and forefoot can be adequately assessed with ultrasound, supplemented on occasion with radiographs, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest The authors do not report any financial or personal connections with other persons or organizations which might negatively affect the contents of this publication and/or claim authorship rights to this publication., (© 2023 Monique Reijnierse et al., published by Sciendo.)- Published

- Abstract
Objective: Inflammation around the tendons of the hand interosseous muscles (interosseous tendon inflammation [ITI]) was recently identified on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a set of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and arthralgia. We conducted a large MRI study to assess the prevalence of ITI at diagnosis of RA and of other arthritides, as well as its relationship with clinical signs., Methods: A total of 1,205 patients presenting with various types of early arthritis between 2010 and 2020 underwent contrast-enhanced hand MRI as part of the prospective Leiden Early Arthritis Cohort. MRI was evaluated with blinding for clinical data, for ITI lateral of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints 2-5, and for synovitis/tenosynovitis/osteitis. We assessed ITI presence at baseline per diagnosis and its relationship with clinical characteristics (ie, presence of hand arthritis, increased acute phase reactants, and local joint swelling and tenderness). Logistic regression and generalized estimating equations were used with adjustment for age and established local inflammation features (synovitis/tenosynovitis/osteitis)., Results: A total of 36% of patients with early RA (n = 532) had ITI; this was similar in patients with anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA)-negative RA (37%) and those with ACPA-positive RA (34%; P = 0.53). ITI occurred regularly in remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (60%) and connective tissue diseases (44%) and less frequently in undifferentiated arthritis (14%), psoriatic arthritis (14%), inflammatory osteoarthritis (8%), reactive arthritis (7%), crystal arthritis (7%), and peripheral spondylarthritis (4%). ITI occurred more often in diagnoses with frequent arthritis of the hands (P < 0.001) and increased acute-phase reactants (P < 0.001). Within RA, ITI occurred together with local MCP joint synovitis (odds ratio [OR] 2.4, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.7-3.4), tenosynovitis (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.8-3.3), and osteitis (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.6-3.1) on MRI. Moreover, ITI presence was associated with local MCP joint tenderness (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.1) and swelling (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.3-2.6), independent of age and MRI-detected synovitis/tenosynovitis/osteitis., Conclusion: ITI occurs regularly in RA and other arthritides with preferential involvement of hand joints and increased acute-phase reactants. At the MCP joint level, ITI associates independently with joint tenderness and swelling. Hence, ITI is a newly identified inflamed tissue mainly found in arthritides with particularly extensive and symptomatic inflammation., (© 2023 The Authors.

- Abstract
This opinion article by the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology Arthritis and Pediatric Subcommittees discusses the current use of conventional radiography (CR) of the sacroiliac joints in adults and juveniles with suspected axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The strengths and limitations of CR compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are presented.Based on the current literature and expert opinions, the subcommittees recognize the superior sensitivity of MRI to detect early sacroiliitis. In adults, supplementary pelvic radiography, low-dose CT, or synthetic CT may be needed to evaluate differential diagnoses. CR remains the method of choice to detect structural changes in patients with suspected late-stage axSpA or established disease and in patients with suspected concomitant hip or pubic symphysis involvement. In children, MRI is the imaging modality of choice because it can detect active as well as structural changes and is radiation free., Competing Interests: None declared., (Thieme.

- Abstract
Background: Inflammation around the tendons of interosseous muscles of the hand (interosseous tendon inflammation) was recently observed with MRI for the first time in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in at-risk individuals with detectable anti-citrullinated protein antibodies, generating the hypothesis that interosseous tendon inflammation precedes clinical arthritis. To better understand the role of interosseous tendon inflammation during the development of rheumatoid arthritis, we studied the frequency of interosseous tendon inflammation in healthy individuals and in those with arthralgia that was suspected of progressing to rheumatoid arthritis (ie, clinically suspect arthralgia) and the association of interosseous tendon inflammation with other symptoms of inflamed joint tissues and with clinical arthritis development., Methods: Adult (age ≥18 years) patients who presented with clinically suspect arthralgia and symptom-free (control) individuals underwent contrast-enhanced hand MRI. MRIs were evaluated for interosseous tendon inflammation on the radial and ulnar sides of the second to fifth metacarpophalangeal joints, and for synovitis, tenosynovitis, and osteitis using the rheumatoid arthritis MRI scoring system. Patients with clinically suspect arthralgia were followed up for clinical arthritis development. The presence of local tenosynovium was examined using immunohistochemistry for anti-CD55 and anti-CD68 on tissue from the hands of three embalmed bodies donated for scientific research. The primary outcome for the cross-sectional part of the study was the presence of interosseous tendon inflammation on MRI. The primary outcome for the longitudinal part of the study was development of clinical arthritis., Findings: Between April 3, 2012, and May 20, 2020, 667 patients with clinically suspect arthralgia (mean age 44 years [SD 13], 504 [76%] were women and 163 [24%] were men) underwent contrast-enhanced hand MRI. Between Nov 1, 2013, and Nov 30, 2014, 193 symptom-free controls were recruited (mean age 50 years [SD 16], 136 [70%] were women and 57 [30%] were men). Two (1%) of 193 symptom-free controls had interosseous tendon inflammation. Immunohistochemistry of cadaveric hand tissues showed no tenosynovium surrounding interosseous tendons. At inclusion, 67 (10%) of 667 patients with clinically suspect arthralgia had interosseous tendon inflammation (p<0·0001 vs symptom-free controls). Interosseous tendon inflammation occurred more frequently if synovitis (odds ratio [OR] 2·2 [95% CI 1·2-4·2]), or tenosynovitis (OR 9·7 [5·5-17·0]), was present at metacarpophalangeal joints. A three-dimensional MRI reconstruction suggested confluency of interosseous tendon inflammation with metacarpophalangeal-flexor-tenosynovitis. 91 (16%) of 558 patients with clinically suspect arthralgia developed clinical arthritis during follow-up (median total follow-up 25·3 months [95% CI 25·1-25·5]). Patients with clinically suspect arthralgia with interosseous tendon inflammation had a higher risk of developing clinical arthritis (hazard ratio [HR] 4·5 [2·8-7·2]), which was attenuated but still significant after adjusting for concomitant synovitis, tenosynovitis, or osteitis (HR 1·7 [1·02-2·8])., Interpretation: Interosseous tendon inflammation is almost absent in symptom-free individuals but occurs in people with clinically suspect arthralgia, in whom it correlates with symptoms and is associated with the development of clinical arthritis. The absence of local tenosynovium suggests that interosseous tendon inflammation arises from expanding local subclinical inflammation in the pre-arthritis phase of rheumatoid arthritis., Funding: European Research Council and the Dutch Arthritis Society., Competing Interests: Declaration of interests We declare no competing interests., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
Objectives: To determine how much of the effect of vertebral corner inflammation on development of syndesmophytes is explained by vertebral corner fat deposition., Methods: Patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) from the SIAS (Sensitive Imaging in Ankylosing Spondylitis) cohort and ASSERT (Ankylosing Spondylitis Study for the Evaluation of Recombinant Infliximab Therapy) trial were assessed at T0, T1 (SIAS: 1 year; ASSERT: 24 weeks) and T2 (2 years). Syndesmophytes assessed in each vertebral corner by whole spine low-dose CT (SIAS) or spinal radiographs (ASSERT) at T0 and T2 were considered present if seen by two of two readers. Inflammation (T0) and fat deposition (T0 and T1) on MRI were present if seen by ≥2 of 3 readers (SIAS) or 2 of 2 readers (ASSERT). Vertebral corners showing fat deposition or a syndesmophyte at baseline were ignored. Mediation analysis was applied to determine what proportion of the total effect of inflammation on syndesmophyte formation could be explained via the path of intermediate fat deposition., Results: Forty-nine SIAS patients (with 2667 vertebral corners) and 168 ASSERT patients (with 2918 vertebral corners) were analysed. The presence of inflammation at T0 increased the probability of a new syndesmophyte in the same vertebral corner at T2 by 9.3%. Of this total effect, 0.2% (2% (0.2 of 9.3) of the total effect) went via intermediate new fat deposition. In ASSERT, the total effect was 7.3%, of which 0.8% (10% of the total effect) went via new fat deposition., Conclusion: In r-axSpA, vertebral corner inflammation may lead to syndesmophyte formation but in a minority of cases via visible fat deposition., Competing Interests: Competing interests: AS—honoraria from Novartis, support for meetings from Lilly and UCB.

- Abstract
Objective: MRI of small joints plays an important role in the early detection and early treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Despite its sensitivity to demonstrate inflammation, clinical use is hampered by accessibility, long scan time, intravenous contrast, and consequent high costs. To improve the feasibility of MRI implementation in clinical practice, we introduce a modified Dixon sequence, which does not require contrast and reduces total acquisition time to 6 min. Because the reliability in relation to conventional MRI sequences is unknown, we determined this., Methods: In 29 consecutive early arthritis patients, coronal and axial T2-weighted modified Dixon acquisitions on 3.0 T MRI scanner were acquired from metacarpophalangeal 2-5 to the wrist, followed by the standard contrast-enhanced protocol on 1.5 T extremity MRI. Two readers scored osteitis, synovitis and tenosynovitis (summed as total MRI-inflammation), and erosions (all summed as total Rheumatoid Arthritis MRI Score (RAMRIS)). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) between readers, and comparing the two sequences, were studied. Spearman correlations were determined., Results: Performance between readers was good/excellent. Comparing modified Dixon and conventional sequences revealed good/excellent reliability: ICC for total MRI-inflammation score was 0.84 (95% CI:0.70-0.92), for erosions 0.90 (95% CI:0.79-0.96), and for the total RAMRIS score 0.88 (95% CI:0.77-0.94). The scores of total MRI-inflammation, total erosions, and total RAMRIS were highly correlated (ρ = 0.80, ρ = 0.81, ρ = 0.82, respectively)., Conclusion: The modified Dixon protocol is reliable compared to the conventional MRI protocol, suggesting it is accurate to detect MRI inflammation. The good correlation may be the first step towards a patient-friendly, short and affordable MRI protocol, which can facilitate the implementation of MRI for early detection of inflammation in rheumatology practice., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Objectives: To assess construct validity of the CT Syndesmophyte Score (CTSS) for the measurement of structural spinal damage in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis., Methods: Low-dose CT and conventional radiography (CR) were performed at baseline and 2 years. CT was assessed with CTSS by two readers and CR with modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score (mSASSS) by three readers. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) syndesmophytes scored with CTSS are also detected with mSASSS at baseline or 2 years later; (2) CTSS is non-inferior to mSASSS in correlations with spinal mobility measures. Presence of a syndesmophyte was determined per reader per corner for all anterior cervical and lumbar corners on CT at baseline and CR at baseline and 2 years. Correlations of CTSS and mSASSS with six spinal/hip mobility measurements plus Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) were tested., Results: Data from 48 patients (85% male, 85% HLA-B27+, mean age 48 years) were available for hypothesis 1 and 41/48 were available for hypothesis 2. At baseline, syndesmophytes were scored with CTSS in 348 (reader 1, 38%) and 327 (reader 2, 36%) corners out of 917. Of these, depending on reader pairs, 62%-79% were also seen on CR at baseline or after 2 years. CTSS correlated well ( r
s 0.46-0.73), and with higher correlation coefficients than mSASSS ( rs 0.34-0.64), with all spinal mobility measures and BASMI., Conclusions: The good agreement between syndesmophytes detected by CTSS and mSASSS and the strong correlation of CTSS with spinal mobility support the construct validity of the CTSS., Competing Interests: Competing interests: DvdH: grant from Dutch Rheumatism Association, consulting fees from AbbVie, Gilead, Glaxo-Smith-Kline, Lilly, Novartis and UCB Pharma, Other interest as director of Imaging Rheumatology bv; FAvG: grants from Stichting vrienden van Sole Mio, Stichting ASAS, Jacobus stichting, Novartis and UCB, consulting fees from Novartis, MSD, AbbVie, Bristol Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly; MR: fees for ASAS CLASSIC study; SR: grants from AbbVie, Galapagos, MSD, Novartis, Pfizer and UCB, consulting fees from AbbVie, Eli-Lilly, MSD, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB and Sanofi, honoraria from Eli-Lilly, MSD, Novartis and UCB; JB, RS, RvdB and XB: nothing to declare., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2023.

- Abstract
Objectives: To describe low dose Computed Tomography (ldCT) Hounsfield Units (HU) two-year change-from-baseline values (expressing trabecular bone density changes) and analyse their inter-reader reliability per vertebra in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA)., Methods: We used 49 patients with r-axSpA from the multicentre two-year Sensitive Imaging in Ankylosing Spondylitis (SIAS) study. LdCT HU were independently measured by two trained readers at baseline and two years. Mean (standard deviation, SD) for the change-from-baseline HU values were provided per vertebra by reader. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC; absolute agreement, two-way random effect), Bland-Altman plots and smallest detectable change (SDC) were obtained. Percentages of vertebrae in which readers agreed on the direction of change and on change >|SDC| were computed., Results: Overall, 1,053 (98% of all possible) vertebrae were assessed by each reader both at baseline and two years. Over two years, HU mean change values varied from -23 to 28 and 29 for reader 1 and 2, respectively. Inter-reader reliability of the two-year change-from-baseline values per vertebra was excellent: ICC:0.91-0.99; SDC:6-10; Bland-Altman plots were homoscedastic, with negligible systematic error between readers. Readers agreed on the direction of change in 88-96% and on change >|SDC| in 58-94% of vertebrae, per vertebral level, from C3 to L5. Overall, similar results were obtained across all vertebrae., Conclusion: LdCT measurement of HU is a reliable method to assess two-year changes in trabecular bone density at each vertebra from C3-L5. Being reliable across all vertebrae, this methodology can aid the study of trabecular bone density changes over time in r-axSpA, a disease affecting the whole spine., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare no conflicts of interest in relation to this study., (Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

- Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the axial skeleton, spine, and sacroiliac (SI) joints is critical for the early detection and follow-up of inflammatory rheumatologic disorders such as axial spondyloarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and SAPHO/CRMO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis/chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis). To offer a valuable report to the referring physician, disease-specific knowledge is essential. Certain MRI parameters can help the radiologist provide an early diagnosis and lead to effective treatment. Awareness of these hallmarks may help avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary biopsies. A bone marrow edema-like signal plays an important role in reports but is not disease specific. Age, sex, and history should be considered in interpreting MRI to prevent overdiagnosis of rheumatologic disease. Differential diagnoses-degenerative disk disease, infection, and crystal arthropathy-are addressed here. Whole-body MRI may be helpful in diagnosing SAPHO/CRMO., Competing Interests: None declared., (The Author(s).
