Vertebrae Anterior erosions of the superior end plate

Sclerosis of the entire vertebra.

Joints Septic arhtritic brucellosis can present lately with small pericapsular erosions, which may be visible on X ray
CT scanning Only specific finding the may be used to distinguish brucellosis from other diseases is Localized snowflake calcification in chronic hepatosplenic brucellosis
MRI, plain radiographs, radionuclide bone scintigraphy, and joint sonography
