20.500.12556/DiRROS-24813 ESR essentials: juvenile idiopathic arthritis what every radiologist needs to know: practice recommendations by the European Society of Paediatric Radiology Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a major contributor to chronic diseases, affecting around 1–2 in 1000 children under the age of 16. With modern treatments, the morbidity has been reduced; however, there is increasing evidence that many, if not most, children with JIA will have a chronic disease with ongoing activity into adulthood. Many studies discuss the possibility of an early window of opportunity in which patients have the best chance of responding to therapy, thereby underscoring the importance of timely and appropriate imaging. Children typically present at 4–5 years of age with one or more stiff and painful joints. If JIA is suspected, the child should undergo an ultrasound of the involved joint(s), performed by a radiologist with experience in paediatric imaging. If this is normal, with no abnormal laboratory tests and low clinical suspicion of JIA, no further imaging is required. If there is inconsistency between ultrasound and clinical findings, then they should proceed to MRI, including intravenous contrast, of the involved joint. Additional radiographs, or low-dose CT for the axial joints to examine for potential destructive change, deformation, or growth abnormalities, should be considered. In children presenting with monoarthritis, bacterial infection must be ruled out. child arthritis juvenile diagnostic imaging ultrasonography magnetic resonance imaging true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2025-12-19 14:32:18 2025-12-19 14:32:18 2026-03-18 12:55:32 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 11. 9. 2025; str. 1261–1271 issue 2 Vol. 36 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616-053.2 1432-1084 10.1007/s00330-025-11891-9 248552963 RAZ_Costa_Dias_Silvia_2025.pdf RAZ_Costa_Dias_Silvia_2025.pdf 1 9364E60F0A14D9C5C6884C630F595F3E 33301d4cab423ed25fe8bf93a82e6635117196c122ff7bbccc00db96c271bbda 4c571c14-dcdf-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=37117 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00330-025-11891-9 0 5f0de6a3-dcdf-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=37118 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
