Bingo. It always had been rather odd to me that you would call someone nr-SpA when they had MR evidence of disease; xrays are not sensitive to pick up changes. While we're at it, can we just use the term "imaging" instead of "radiographs" with the availability of better tech? https://t.co/I6reoHyywf

It is not known if other cells get activated. This study looks at B cells.
