Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effect of HRCT in diagnosis of the sacroiliac joint of ankylosing spondylitis(AS).Methods:HRCT scanning of sacroiliac joints were performed in 86 adult patients with AS.CT findings were reviewed.Rank test was used for statistical analysis of the grade of sacroiliac joint changes in two groups based on course of disease and the sex of patients.Results:The CT findings of the sacroiliac joint changes in AS included erosion,arthrosclerosis,change of joint space,arthrokleisis,gas and soft tissue in articular cavity.Pathologic changes were more obvious with the course of disease prolonged (P0.01).In the group during the same course,pathologic changes were more marked in female patients than those in male ones(P0.01).Conclusion:HRCT can show tiny structures of sacroitiac joint clearly.This is beneficial to recognize different patologic changes and make correct diagnosis.
