title: [Conventional Radiology: Total BASRI and SASSS].
abstract: Conventional radiology is a very important tool used to evaluate patients with spondyloarthropathies. It is necessary not only to evaluate the efficacy of the different treatments but also to reflect the history of the disease, maintaining a registry of the progression of the destructive process, evaluating the affection and quantifying the damage. We have at our disposal three methods specifically designed for the evaluation of structural damage in SA: the BSARI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index), the SASSS (Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score) and a modification of the latter. This review intends to perform a detailed description of each one of these methods and expose the advantages and disadvantages of their use.
