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[1][2][3]
- Erosions
- Ankylosis
- Changes in joint width
- Sclerosis
- Fusion and large erosions more obvious as the disease becomes more advanced.
- With the severity in x-ray hip involvement we can correlates the severity of the spinal disease.[4]
