Whole body (WB) MRI is a valuable method for surveying the overall burden of systemic diseases such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), directing further diagnostic and treatment approaches. Consensus-driven development and validation of a standardized WB-MRI scoring system for JIA has important clinical utility in timely detection and monitoring of disease activity, and serves as an outcome measure in research. We describe our experience utilizing a formal consensus approach amongst imaging and/or clinical JIA experts towards developing a novel WB MRI scoring system to assess disease activity in JIA.

Final Pr. ID: Poster #: SCI-004
A spatio-temporal delay in maturation and reorganization of transient fetal compartements, such as subplate zone, Von Monakow segments of white matter, crossroad areas and migrating cell bands, seems to be linked to abnormal brain growth and radial vulnerability(Kostovic et al. 2014) in preterm born infants (PT). The aim of our study was to test the MRI visibility of these transient fetal structures and eventually to compare their appearance patterns in two group of infants: term borns and PT at term equivalent age.
