Overview

An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis(AS). Findings on an x-ray suggestive of ankylosing spondylitis(AS) include erosion and ankylosis of the sacroiliac joints .

X Ray

• A standard anteroposterior (AP) plain x-ray of the pelvis helps in recognizing the AS.
• Findings on an x-ray suggestive of/diagnostic of ankylosing spondylitis(AS) include
  • Erosions
  • Ankylosis
  • Changes in joint width
  • Sclerosis
• Fusion and large erosions more obvious as the disease becomes more advanced.
