"Lung findings on high-resolution computed tomography in idiopathic ankylosing
spondylitis--correlation with clinical findings, pulmonary function testing and
plain radiography."

Useful synopsis to check out - note the recommendation of CT scans as the plain radiographs did NOT pick up the lung problems (much like to the plain radiographs NOT picking up changes that the Saggital STIR MRI images 'do' pick up!)
