This study evaluated the impact of additional information from sacroiliac MRI or CT images on rheumatologists correctly identifying definite sacroiliitis by radiography, Keywords: sacroiliitis, spondyloartropathies, diagnostics, radiograms, magnetic resonance imaging Background Spondyloarthropathies (SpA) constitute a group of rheumatic diseases, in which inflammatory lesions involve sacroiliac joints, vertebral joints, peripheral joints and sites of insertion of tendons, ligaments or joint capsule [ 1 , 2 ], Bilateral sacroiliitis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Single-photon emission CT (SPECT), CT scans and plain X-rays of the SI joints were conducted. To meet the criteria of the clinical arm, HLA-B27 positivity and at least two other features of spondyloar- MRI may be particularly helpful in early disease, although it can be normal even in active SpA and the chronic changes of sacroiliitis are better seen on plain X-rays.
