In a recent study, low-dose computed tomography was shown to capture more relevant clinical data compared to conventional radiography, reports Rheumatology Advisor.

Low-dose computed tomography (CT), which scans the entire vertebral column, detects more bone proliferation in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) compared with conventional radiography (CR), which is limited to the cervical and lumbar spine, according to the results of a recent observational cohort study published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
