Purpose. In order to develop standardized criteria for assessing the activity of the inflammatory process in the knee joints in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), performed magnetic resonance imaging of the knee joints in 70 patients.	Siberian state medical university. Tomsk, Russia.

Identified changes included signs of synovitis in the form of a thickening of the synovial membrane and intra-articular effusion, rarely - swelling of the bone marrow, bone erosion and changes in the articular cartilage, menisci and ligaments change machine. Thus the earliest morphological change intraarticular structures of the knee joint in JIA were signs of synovitis. Established correlation between the activity of the inflammatory process, and thickening of the synovial membranes, intra-articular effusion thick, swelling of the bone marrow, which is offered on the basis of the scoring system for the inflammatory activity in patients with knee JIA, which has high sensitivity.

Keywords: juvenile idiopathic arthritis, magnetic resonance imaging, the activity of the inflammatory process, knee joint, scoring system.
