Sammanfattning

Advance in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology has made it possible to detect the presence of inflammation in the axial skeleton in the absence of radiographic changes on plain x-ray. [1-3] This allows for earlier detection of axial disease in spondyloarthritis (SpA), and based on these findings axial SpA can be split into patients with definite radiographic sacroiliitis on plain x-ray, also known as ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and patients with non-radiographic axial SpA (nr-axSpA) [1, 4].
