From: The usefulness of bone SPECT/CT imaging with volume of interest analysis in early axial spondyloarthritis

 

Grade 0 (n = 15)

Grade 1 (n = 18)

Grade 2 (n = 7)

  1. SIS = sacroiliac joint to sacrum, SPECT/CT = single positron emission computed tomography/computed tomography; SI = sacroiliac.
  2. *Statistically significant group difference exists between grade 0 vs. grade 1 and grade 0 vs. grade 2 of plain radiography in post hoc analysis.
