• The presence of erosions in the sacroiliac joints may influence the decision on the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis. • T1w fat-suppressed MR imaging relatively increases the contrast between the joint space (high signal) and the adjacent subchondral bone (low signal), potentially improving the detection of erosions in the sacroiliac joints. • T1w fat-suppressed images improve the diagnostic performance of MRI in the detection of erosions in the sacroiliac joints compared to T1w without fat suppression, using MDCT as the reference.
