2 About The Meeting The estimated prevalence of Seronegative Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is approximately 0.4 to 1.9 percent, depending upon ethnicity. The study published in 2012 in Arthritis Care & Research using data directly from the Center of Disease Control s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) program reported that as much as 1% of the adult United States population may have axial spondyloarthritis. Thus, this means that as many as 2.7 million adults may be affected by the disease. According to National Arthritis Data Workgroup, estimated prevalence of spondylarthritides in the United States is 0.6 million to 2.4 million. This also suggests that SpA is at least as prevalent as rheumatoid arthritis, but yet an under recognized condition. The spectrum of SpA diseases can be a challenge to diagnose due to their overlapping features, unpredictable nature, and many manifestations. Diagnostic tools for these conditions are limited. Therefore, imaging plays a very important role in the diagnosis, as well as prognosis and monitoring of patients with SpA. There is an unmet need to increase awareness and educate the radiologists, rheumatologists, and other health care providers. Target Audience Radiologists, rheumatologists, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, sports medicine and primary care physicians. MR technologists should also find this meeting beneficial.
