Abstract
Our objective was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of MRI and its ability to depict responsiveness to treatment for the evaluation of the axial joints (temporomandibular joint [TMJ], spinal joints, and sacroiliac joints) in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). There is fair (grade B) evidence that MRI is an accurate diagnostic method for evaluating early and intermediate changes in the TMJ in JIA and insufficient evidence to indicate MRI is an accurate diagnostic method for detecting JIA in the spinal (grade I) and sacroiliac (grade I) joints.
