Description
One of the greatest challenges in measuring a structural outcome in knee osteoarthritis (OA) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is defining the parameters of inclusion and exclusion. Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) present with varying pathologies, surrounding oedema and/or oedema and cystic, and may present across the entire knee joint. Assessment of BMLs may be performed quantitatively, by volume measurement, or semi-quantitatively based upon (%) region involvement. I was invited to present a talk on the complexities of BML assessment and whether we should begin to start differentiating BML subtypes and monitoring BML location (subchondral or ligament-based).
