FAQs

What is an X-Ray SI Joints AP & Both Oblique?

X-Ray SI Joints AP & Both Oblique is a diagnostic imaging examination that captures three views of the sacroiliac (SI) joints: one Anteroposterior (AP) view and right and left oblique views.

What are the sacroiliac (SI) joints?

The sacroiliac joints connect the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) to the iliac bones of the pelvis. They help transfer body weight between the spine and the legs.

Why is this examination performed?

It is performed to evaluate lower back pain, buttock pain, pelvic pain, suspected sacroiliitis, ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis, fractures, and other conditions affecting the SI joints.

What are oblique views?

Oblique views are angled X-ray images that provide a clearer view of each sacroiliac joint individually, helping detect subtle abnormalities that may not be visible on the AP view alone.

What conditions can this examination help diagnose?

It can help diagnose sacroiliitis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease, fractures, infections, and other abnormalities of the sacroiliac joints.
