25. Questions
•
Will they have an interest in stopping the
NSAID before MRI?
• If the MRI is the first SI – Should we repeat the MRI SI later?
– Should we do an MRI of the spine (or after a
negative MRI SI)?

27. Should we stop NSAIDs before the MRI?
20 patients with SpA treated by NSAIDs (etoricoxib)
• MRI lumbar spine and SI to S0 and S6 (20 patients)
• 15/20 patients (71%) had lesions on MRI S0 (63 lesions in total)
• 12/20 (60%) responders
• SI : S0 : 11 MRI + (25 lesions) à S6 : 9 MRI + (22 lesions)
• Spine: A S0 : 11 MRI + (38 lesions) à S6 : 9 MRI + (36 lesions)

36. Should make sacroiliac and / or spine MRI?
• Reading MRI of the spine in addition to the SI increases the number of nonradiographic forms that are ultimately recognized positive MRI compared to
reading only SI
Sog IH et al. Arthritis Rheum 2008
• It increases quite significantly the number of false positives (mechanical or
healthy)
• In addition it allows to diagnose other causes of lumbar pain
