Improved detection of erosions in the sacroiliac joints on MRI with volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE): results from the SIMACT study

摘要

Objective To compare the performance of a new three-dimensional MRI sequence (volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination; MR-VIBE) with a conventional T1-weighted sequence (MR-T1) for the detection of erosions in the sacroiliac joints (SIJs) using low-dose CT (ldCT) as reference.
