Automated detection of active and structural MRI lesions in the sacroiliac joints in axial spondyloarthritis: training and validation across 3 phase III clinical trial datasets.

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to assess the performance of a fully automated deep learning (DL) system for detecting active and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions of. METHODS: A 2-stage automated pipeline was developed to delineate left and right SIJs and detect 5 MRI-defined lesion types: 1 active lesion: bone marrow oedema (BMO), 4 structural .
