By studying these 8 cases, you will be able to confidently diagnose axial spondyloarthritis (including ankylosing spondylitis) by analyzing the clinical information and the results of imaging (X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging).
These cases demonstrate the typical lesions at sacroiliac joints and spine. All cases are annotated by coloured overlays and there are case summaries and references as well.
