  • Values are for 10 participants (psoriatic arthritis, n = 4; rheumatoid arthritis, n = 3; healthy controls, n = 3), and for all anatomical areas considered together.

  • aTotal inflammatory activity (i.e., the sum of joint and entheseal soft tissue and bone inflammation). BME: bone marrow edema; Conv. MRI: conventional MRI; ICC: 2-way random effects intraclass correlation coefficient, single measure absolute agreement; Kappa: Cohen’s Kappa, quadratic weighted; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; PEA: percentage exact agreement; STI: soft tissue inflammation; WBMRI: whole-body MRI.
