First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study looked at whether CT scans are better than regular X-rays for measuring spinal fusion in people with ankylosing spondylitis, a condition that causes the spine to stiffen. Researchers followed 63 adults for up to 4 years, using scans and blood tests to track bone growth. The goal was to find a more accurate way to measure disease progression, which could help test new treatments in the future.
