Quantitative MRI measurements of the Achilles tendon in spondyloarthritis using ultrashort echo times.

OBJECTIVES: Tendon involvement is common in spondyloarthritis. The MRI signal from the Achilles tendon has been used to quantify mechanical tendinopathy; however, conventional MRI is limited by the short T(2) of normal tendon. Short and ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI have the potential to better mea...
