The diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is based on clinical and laboratory findings. However, there is mounting evidence of the imaging potential to accurately stage and evaluate disease activity. With new medications offering more aggressive and effective treatments, monitoring response to treatment becomes increasingly important. The use of more sensitive imaging modalities such as ultrasound and more importantly magnetic resonance imaging is gaining favor. The time has come to consider the incorporation of imaging in the scoring and evaluation of disease activity in JIA.
青少年特发性关节炎（JIA）的诊断基于临床和实验室检查结果。然而，越来越多的证据表明影像学在准确分期和评估疾病活动方面具有潜力。随着新型药物提供更积极有效的治疗，监测治疗反应变得越来越重要。使用更敏感的成像方式，如超声，更重要的是磁共振成像，正越来越受到青睐。现在是时候考虑将影像学纳入JIA疾病活动的评分和评估中了。
