Many disorders can lead to radiological abnormalities of the sacroiliac joints. Some present a characteristic appearance, while others may be diagnosed by analyzing both the appearance and the distribution of findings. Computed tomography provides excellent visualization of the sacroiliac joints and can be helpful in the evaluation of articular disorders as well as pelvic trauma and neoplasms. Radionuclide scanning of bone can also be used to evaluate the sacroiliac joints, particularly if the two sides are compared with the assistance of computer-generated activity counts. This article describes the radiological features of these various disorders that often allow an exact diagnosis to be made.
