Objective To evaluate whether different types of sacroiliac (SI) joint lesions identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could differentiate axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) from conditions with buttock or pelvic pain attributable to other reasons, including postpartum women and healthy subjects....
