This study revealed a high prevalence of subclinical HEMRIS abnormalities and discrepancy between HEMRIS and clinical and PET/CT findings. This may suggest that the HEMRIS is a sensitive method for detection of inflammatory and structural disease of enthesitis at the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia, although the clinical significance of these MRI findings remains to be determined in longitudinal studies.
