Can mild sclerosis of the si joint (caused by degeneration or however it was noted exactly) show up on x-ray but be missed on mri? thank you?

SI joint: If the MRI was of the lumbar spine and a request to specifically examine the SI joint was not made, I feel sclerosis of that joint could be missed. A radiologist could answer this question best, however.
