title: [Comparative characteristics of radiation imaging methods in the diagnosis of sacroiliitis].
abstract: Patients with sacroiliac joint, injuries, ankylosing spondyloarthritis, or spondyloarthropathy of various genesis were examined. Pelvis x-ray, spiral computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed. MRI was found to have advantages in the detection and evaluation of the pattern of detectable bone changes. It is inexpedient to use traditional x-ray study and CT for the detection of edematous-infiltrative changes in both osseous and fibrous and soft tissue elements of the joint since the sensitivity of these techniques is insufficient to detect. To analyze detectable changes, it is expedient to use a unified MRI protocol that involves the characteristics of osseous, fibrous, and soft tissue structures of the joint.
