Entheses are sites where tendons, fascia, ligament or joint capsule attach to bones of the appendicular or axial skeleton.1 2 Inflammation at these sites, enthesitis, involves both soft tissue and bone, and is considered as a core pathological process in spondyloarthritis (SpA), including psoriatic arthritis (PsA).3 4 The prevalence of enthesitis in SpA, including PsA, has been reported to be 13.6%–35%, with Achilles tendon and plantar fascia insertion being the most common sites.5 6 Assessing enthesitis as primary or secondary outcome in clinical trials requires a comprehensive, sensitive and validated assessment method. Clinical examination using different enthesitis indices has been shown to have low sensitivity and specificity, with suboptimal reproducibility.7 8 MRI allows sensitive assessment of enthesitis,9–11 and the OMERACT MRI in Arthritis Working Group has recently developed and validated the OMERACT Heel Enthesitis MRI Scoring System (HEMRIS), along with consensus-based definitions of the MRI features to be scored.12 Thus, this method may facilitate a more reliable assessment of enthesitis in clinical trials. The exact area of assessment and the individual grades of HEMRIS may be difficult for new readers to conceptualise. Furthermore, the applicability and reproducibility of …
