“…Usually both active and chronic MRI findings are required to establish the diagnosis in children and adolescents and distinct knowledge about the complicated anatomy of SIJ is therefore important [ 8 ]. Computed tomography (CT) is superior to MRI for visualizing detailed osseous anatomy in addition to pathological structural lesions [ 9 – 11 ] and can display chronic osseous changes in sacroiliitis, but not signs of inflammatory activity [ 9 , 12 , 13 ]. However, due to exposure to ionizing radiation, CT is not commonly used as the diagnostic method for diagnosing SIJ changes, especially not in children and adolescents.…”

BackgroundDiagnosing sacroiliitis by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in children/adolescents can be difficult due to the growth-related changes. This study analyzed the normal osseous anatomy of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) in a juvenile population using computed tomography (CT).MethodsThe anatomy of the SIJ was retrospectively analyzed in 124 trauma patients aged 9 months – <18 years by CT, based on 2 mm slices in axial, semi-axial and semi-coronal planes. The following anatomical features were recorded: intersegmental fusion of the sacral vertebral segments 1–3 (S1-S3), ossified nuclei (antero-superior at S1, lateral to the intervertebral spaces and lateral to S1 and S2) and joint facet defects larger than 3 mm.ResultsFusion of S1/S2 started at the age of 6 years and was complete after the age of 13 years in most girls and after the age of 14 years in most boys. Fusion of S2/S3 started at the age of 9 years, but could remain incomplete up to 18 years in both genders. Ossified nuclei antero-lateral at S1 and/or in the joint space were observed until the age of 18 years and occurred in 77% of individuals ≥13 years with intraarticular localization in 64% of girls and 60% of boys. Joint facet defects >3 mm occurred in 21 children/adolescents (17%) located to both the iliac and sacral joint facets.ConclusionsNormal osseous SIJ structures in children and adolescents vary considerably. Attention to these normal anatomical structures during growth may help to avoid false positive findings by MRI.

“…Baraliakos et al [16] found a quadrant-level sensitivity of 62% and a specificity of 88% on T1WI with a slice thickness of 3 mm for erosion detection in 109 patients with axSpA. Results from Hu et al [33] were similar, with a sensitivity of 61 % and a specificity of 95% in 43 patients with SpA. Diekhoff et al [13] evaluated the diagnostic accuracy for erosion detection on 3 mm T1WI in 110 patients suspected for SpA, and they found a sensitivity of 79% and a specificity of 93% on the patient level.…”

“…On the other hand, [9] emphasizes the importance of the MRI in the evaluation of osteoarthritis and its progression, due to the limitations that radiography presents before the diagnosis and monitoring in the early stages and during the progression of the disease. Finally, [18] obtains good results when using MRI and CT compared to radiography, in the detection of acute inflammation during bone erosion in people suffering from spondylarthritis [18].…”

Introduction:This review article shows the state of the art of different techniques for monitoring joint injuries. This work is the product of the research project "Viability of electrical impedance tomography for the monitoring of joint injuries", which took place at the University of Cauca during the period 2018-2019. Aim:Identify non-invasive bio-image methods that are used in the evaluation of joint diseases. Methodology: Selection and review of papers related to the evaluation of joint injuries using non-invasive bio-image technologies using systematic mapping. Results: Magnetic resonance and computed tomography systems make up the non-invasive methods of greater reliability and application in the evaluation of joint injuries. Similarly, some studies show good results from other methods such as systems based on bio-impedance when monitoring the deterioration of joint cartilage. However, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) devices have not yet been widely studied in the joint injuries evaluation. Conclusion: Electronic prototypes of low-cost electrical impedance tomography have been developed that have allowed for the detection and recognition of gestures made by hand from the analysis of the distribution of conductivity in the wrist joint, which allows us to infer that EIT could be a good alternative for the monitoring of joint injuries. Originality: The literature does not show studies focused on the development and implementation of EIT systems in medical applications related to joint injuries. Limitations: This review paper only mentions those studies that describe the non-invasive bio-image methods used to evaluate joint diseases, including the medical applications of EIT systems.
