130 patients benefited from an MRI of the sacroiliac joint,
12 patients were explored by CT scan and 32 patients received an MRI of sacroiliac joint supplemented by a CT scan.
The CT scan was performed by spiral acquisition with thin slices in coronal and axial planes.
The magnetic resonance imaging was performed in sequences:
- T1 in axial and coronal plane.
- STIR in coronal plane.
- T1 with fat saturation in coronal plane.
The examination is completed by T1,
T2 and STIR sequences in the sagittal plane of the spine in search of associated discoverebral abnormalities.
