The specificity of scintigraphic scanning in detecting inflammatory sacroiliitis has been investigated. The sacroiliac band profile (R[Band]) was used and a new index (R[SIJ/F]) comparing the sacroiliac joint with the ipsilateral femur is described. Using the R (Band) index the mean value (1.34) for patients with definite sacroiliac disease was no different from that found for control subjects (1.35). There were significant differences using the R(SIJ/F) (7.8 versus 6.4): this ratio alone correlated with age. We conclude that neither technique is sufficiently specific to be of diagnostic value in most instances of low back pain.
