• What is an X-ray Both SI Joint AP?
  

  An X-Ray SI Joint AP (Anteroposterior) View is a sophisticated imaging process that provides a detailed image of the sacroiliac (SI) joints, which connect the sacrum (lower back) to the iliac bones (pelvis). The AP (Anteroposterior) view captures a front-to-back image of both SI joints, allowing doctors to diagnose diseases such as arthritis, sacroiliitis, fracture, dislocation, joint malalignment, and degenerative changes. This X-ray is a straightforward, painless, and non-invasive test that is crucial in determining the cause of lower back, hip, or pelvic pain and informing future treatment.
