AB  - Objective. To develop definitions for the assessment of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pathologies of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) in juvenile idiopathic arthritis.Methods. An Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) consensus-driven methodology consisting of iterative surveys and focus group meetings within an international group of rheumatologists and radiologists.Results. Two domains, inflammation and structural, were identified. Definitions for bone marrow edema, joint space inflammation, capsulitis, and enthesitis were derived for joint inflammation; sclerosis, erosion, fatty lesion, and ankylosis were defined for assessing structural joint changes.Conclusion. Preliminary consensus-driven definitions for inflammation and structural elements have been derived, underpinning the ongoing development of the OMERACT Juvenile Arthritis MRI SIJ scoring system (OMERACT JAMRIS-SIJ).
