Relationship between spinal structural damage on radiography and bone fragility on CT in ankylosing spondylitis patients

Abstract To evaluate whether the risk of bone fragility on computed tomography (CT) (scanographic bone attenuation coefficient of the first lumbar vertebra (SBAC-L1)) is associated with the severity of spine structural involvement (mSASSS) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This retrospec...
