Dr Lt Col Dhanalakshmi B
Abstract :
The early diagnosis of sacroiliitis is need for Radiologist in low back ache cases for diagnosis, prognostication and further planning of treatment. Even though MRI is the imaging modality of choice, the availability and cost of MRI are not allowing all patients to undergo MRI imaging. The CT scan with modified protocol has been done in limited length of 100–110 mm to include SI joint with low MA and KV technique without losing the diagnostic criteria and staging of disease
