| Popis: | Introduction: The aim of the present study was to compare the role of Conventional Radiography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), in diagnosis of active sacroiliitis and differentiation between inflammatory and infective sacroiliitis.Methods: Fifty two cases of active sacroiliitis diagnosed on MRI from August 2017 to August 2019 were included in study. All the patients were subjected to conventional radiology, MRI and findings were co-related with clinical and laboratory findings. Conventional radiography was used to evaluate structural changes. MR images were evaluated for bone lesions (extent and distribution of bone marrow edema and presence of bone erosions), soft-tissue lesions (capsulitis, extra capsular fluid collections, and peri-articular muscle edema) and joint space reduction for differentiation between infective and inflammatory etiology.Results: Conventional radiography showed sclerosis, erosion, partial and complete ankylosis. Thick capsulitis, extra capsular fluid collection, and peri-articular muscle edema were all more frequently observed in infective sacroiliitis (p |
