ASAS Slide Library

The slides included in this ASAS slide library are selected by ASAS members to give a broad overview of the various aspects of spondyloarthritis (SpA). We hope that these will be used widely to educate all health professionals caring for patients with SpA.

There are ten sections:

  • Epidemiology
  • Clinical Manifestations
  • Diagnosis
  • Pathogenesis
  • Juvenile Spondyloarthritis
  • Outcome
  • Imaging
    • MRI of sacroiliac joints
    • MRI of spine
    • X-Ray
  • Treatment

Slides in the English version can be selected by using search terms (either keywords or any word) and by chapters, in other languages only by chapters. Original slides without changing the content and lay-out can be used freely.

 

We tried to have the content of the slides as accurate as possible but ASAS is not ‘legally responsible’ for any mistakes which might have occurred.
