To develop a reference image atlas for the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology whole-body MRI scoring system for inflammation in peripheral joints and entheses (OMERACT MRI-WIPE) of the knee region.

Methods

Image examples of each pathology, location and grade, were collected and discussed at web-based, interactive meetings within the OMERACT MRI in Arthritis Working Group. Subsequently, reference images were selected by consensus.

Results

Reference images for each grade, pathology and location are depicted, along with definitions, reader rules and recommended MRI-sequences.

Conclusion

The atlas guides scoring whole-body MRIs for inflammation in joints and entheses of the knee region according to MRI-WIPE methodology in clinical trials and cohorts.
