Abstract
- The article presents a study which evaluates the potential of a second-generation contrast agent for the detection of vascularity at the dorsocaudal part of the sacroiliac joints in patients with sacroiliitis. The subjects of the study were investigated by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). It was found in the study that CEUS allowed the differentiation of acute sacroiliitis from inactive SI joint, and is a feasible method for the detection of vascularity in clinically active sacroiliitis.
