• MRI-based sCT is a new image technique that can generate CT-like images. • We found that sCT performs similarly to CT in displaying bony structures of pediatric sacroiliac joints. • sCT has already been clinically validated in the sacroiliac joints in adults. • sCT can potentially assess structural damage from erosions or ankylosis as it clearly depicts bony cortex.
