title: Radiological investigation in the management of uveitis.
abstract: Patients suffering from Uveitis often undergo radiological investigation in order to detect underlying sarcoidosis or ankylosing spondylitis. We reviewed the results of X-rays performed in this hospital over a four year period in order to determine the efficiency of such screening. Our results suggest that radiological investigation has little role in the management of patients with Uveitis.
