1. To review the contemporary literature and present an updated list of musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal imaging findings of patients with autoinflammatory diseases in our hospital. Most of these patients are found to have a genetic mutation that is responsible for their disease.
2. To present follow-up imaging findings, when available, and correlate those with patients’ symptoms and type of treatment administered in approximately 40 patients with autoinflammatory diseases such as Cryopyrin-associated autoinflammatory syndrome, familial Mediterranean fever, PAPA (pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenousum, and acne) syndrome and much more. These findings can be related to disease progression, treatment response or treatment-induced changes.

Pediatric rheumatologic diseases are common in children and can have a significant negative impact on children's health and well-being. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the most common type of arthritis in pediatric patients worldwide. However, multiple other entities can be encountered in these patients and can be first presenting with lung manifestations. Therefore, pediatric radiologists should consider the possibility of underlying rheumatologic disease when they see certain chest imaging findings.
The purpose of this educational exhibit is to review the imaging findings of pediatric rheumatologic diseases with a focus on chest imaging to illustrate the lung manifestions that can be seen in the presence of these diseases.

Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an auto-inflammatory disease that can affect multiple locations. Whole body MRI is an important tool to help identify subclinical multifocal disease and help monitor disease. As a referral center for CRMO, we have developed a successful CRMO whole body MRI imaging protocol which maximizes diagnostic information while minimizing scanner time. Read More
