Unravelling the disease process, including the clinical and imaging features can be unnerving at best. We have sought to provide a solid foundation of imaging findings in this disease, its variable appearance and its mimickers in a clear and concise fashion. App Features: Section 1 provides a brief overview of axial spondyloarthropathy. Section 2 reviews normal imaging anatomy of both the sacroiliac joints and the spine Section 3 details the various imaging findings in the sacroiliac joints and spine Section 4 provides an imaging algorithm Section 5 discusses the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthropathy Section 6 reviews the common alternate pathologies and imaging appearances Section 7 provides “real-life” clinical cases, approach and diagnosis Target Audience Rheumatologists Rheumatologists In Training Radiologists Radiologists In Training Internists Residents Medical Students
