Scoring hand x-rays for Sharp scores is painfully tedious and not always perfectly consistent.
Why not get a computer to do it? Turns out you can - a deep adaptive machine learning model does as well as a human, each x-ray in literally one second.

Still more interesting lessons from GiACTA, this time re: nature of GCA flares on TCZ:
- visual manifestation flares were rare
- ESR or CRP raised in 3/4 of flares (so not raised in 1/4)
Understanding these flares is crucial!
