Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
With the development of imaging technology, whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) scanning technology is highly sensitive, can detect multiple parts at the same time, and can fuse multiple sequence images to make disease location and diagnosis more accurate. Currently, Much attention has been paid to it, but it has been less studied in axSpA.
This study established a disease activity assessment model based on WB-MRI imaging assessment, which will provide a new, effective and accurate method for axSpA disease assessment. At the same time, it will provide theoretical basis and practical basis for further understanding of the clinical characteristics of axSpA, the relationship between inflammation and structural damage.
