MRI S.I. JOINTS

Description

MRI of the sacroiliac (S.I.) joints provides detailed images of these important joints connecting the spine to the pelvis. This non-invasive imaging technique uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create high-resolution pictures of the joint structures, surrounding bones, and soft tissues. It’s particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as sacroiliitis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other inflammatory arthritides affecting the S.I. joints. The detailed images allow physicians to detect subtle changes in joint structure, bone marrow edema, and inflammation, which are crucial for early diagnosis and monitoring of various sacroiliac joint disorders.
