      @SteliosTomaras @RichardPAConway @drhectorchinoy @RheumNow EMG/NCS can help uncover various neurological disorders including muscle dystrophies. Obviously it depends on center and expertise. Both MRI and EMG are useful and have different complementary utilities in Myositis. Many centers are not able to perform or interpret MRI reliably.

      @NU_Rheum_MSK_US @RichardPAConway @drhectorchinoy @RheumNow Muscle ultrasound can be very useful but it is not ready for prime time currently to be used to do muscle biopsies. Perhaps in few years once we know how to target the muscle for biopsy.

      Delay in the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) has been a huge challenge and is associated with poor outcomes.
