₹1000
Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is a high-tech diagnostics centre that is accredited by NABL and NABH and provides X-Ray (AP View) SI Joint diagnosis. An anteroposterior (AP) view of the sacroiliac joints is the area where the lower part of the spine meets the pelvis. It allows a physician to assess the gaps between the cartilage and the musculoskeletal structure and other areas for indications of swelling, arthritis, as well as other issues.
What is X-Ray SI Joint AP View?
A high-quality X-ray picture acquisition technique that captures at least X-rays and is used to X-ray the anterior/posterior view of SI Joints is called: X-ray SI Joint AP View. Part of the study is also conducted to see whether any gaps are narrowed or become irregular between the joints or between any bones around the joints, whether hardened (sclerosed), or whether eroded. These can then be connected with inflammatory diseases, arthritis, injury, and other ailments of joints.
Conditions Evaluated
Sacroiliitis
Sacroiliitis refers to inflammation of one or both sacroiliac joints. X-ray images may show changes such as joint irregularity, erosion, or sclerosis associated with the condition.
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory condition that mainly affects the spine and sacroiliac joints. X-ray imaging may help identify changes such as joint erosion, narrowing, or fusion in more advanced stages.

The examination may help identify degenerative changes in the sacroiliac joints, including joint space narrowing, bone spurs, and sclerosis.
