Ultrasound in sacroiliitis: the picture is shaping up

Authors: Marwin Gutierrez, Carlos Pineda

Published in: Rheumatology International | Issue 12/2017

Excerpt

Currently, ultrasound (US) has become a reference tool for many rheumatologists to assess a wide range of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. Its potential to provide valuable information in different clinical and research scenarios including diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment monitoring, guidance during clinical procedures and evaluation of disease remission is well recognized [1‐6]. …
