Answer:
Both DISH and AS involve tendon and ligament ossification—appearing similarly on radiographs—but their underlying pathologies differ. In the absence of a validated scoring system for the progression of DISH, Baraliakos et al. borrowed a method used to quantify radiographic changes in AS and applied it to both diseases. 141 patients diagnosed with DISH, and 146 with established AS, were retrospectively included; baseline and follow-up (within 6 years) radiographs were assessed. In addition, the researchers categorized bony changes according to a recently established cut-off: whether the growth was greater or less than 45° to the horizontal axis.
