T2* cartilage mapping in early axial spondyloarthritis: diagnostic accuracy and correlation with clinical characteristics, sacroiliitis MRI scorings, and diffusion metrics.

T2* mapping may have value in evaluating axSpA. The combination of T2* values and active sacroiliitis on MRI enhances diagnostic performance for axSpA. Abnormalities measured with T2* values correlate with disease activity, acute sacroiliitis, and degree of structural damage.
