Digging around a bit more on EULAR - this link is fairly good, the intro covers points I made in earlier post, see :-

http://www.brighamandwomens.org/Patients...Spondylitis.pdf

Unfortunately it does not 'say' Sagittal, STIR etc etc screening... but the EULAR Handbook does - as far as I remember that is. But do *know that the full works are required in order to 'see' the information. And, no, CT does not do the same job. Apart from which CT is a big rad exposure especially when full body is concerned.

In 2005 the ASsessment in AS (ASAS) International Working Group collaborated with
the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and compiled a group of evidence
based medical recommendations for treatment of AS 8


See ALL the references, above is #8

Good 'general' overview AS video - particularly look out for 20, this covers MRI protocol. Also 29, more on MRI protocol. Then 40, covers fracture and end plate fracture. This is a very very interesting and pretty informative video - but do not be too surprised at paucity of knowledge from medical audience ! (Physiotherapy was abysmal.)

Spine - AS Discussion - Good, notice that they are referring to Coronal, Sagittal STIR, t-1, t-2, fat-supp; Axial planes etc etc, excellent :-

And also look at the rest of the video presentations - see side menue

Let's not forget that it certainly makes a difference who reads the MRI's.

Molly, I am so sorry you have been having so many problems. Good to see you back. Hugs.

Possi is right on there - depends very much on who is reading the MRI. You'll see this in action when viewing the Spine videos (links in earlier posts here on this thread)...very interesting ! Bit scary in fact...

(Thanks Possi - coming through it though still coughing like a nanny goat - why do nanny goats cough ? <VBG> )
