Imaging of Sacroiliac Joints.

ABSTRACT

The central role of imaging in diagnosing disorders affecting the sacroiliac joints (SIJs) necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the advantages, limitations, and potential pitfalls of the imaging techniques that can be used. In this article, the anatomy and biomechanics of SIJs are exposed, outlining their unique features, particularly the division into anteroinferior cartilaginous and postero-superior ligamentous parts. Overall, the goal of this article is to offer a comprehensive understanding of imaging techniques, anatomic complexity, and diagnostic considerations relevant to SIJs disorders, facilitating accurate diagnosis and patient management in clinical practice and research.
