... Compared to MRI and X-ray, CT scans may be superior for detecting chronic bone changes. However, CT scans have difficulty picking up the soft tissue and bony changes found in early spondylitis sacroiliitis.CT scans also emit more radiation than X-rays, so CT is not recommended for a typical diagnosis of spondylitis. ...

... Flowing ossification at four or more vertebral levels usually appears on X-ray images of DISH. Bone changes look like dripping candle wax in those with DISH, while they’re smoother in people with AS. Thanks to X-ray imaging, DISH and AS can be identified separately, even if someone has both conditions. ...
