Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a mainstay in musculoskeletal imaging. The term"bone marrow edema" is frequently used for describing the radiological findings, especially with respect to rheumatic diseases. The referring physician should be aware that this term has a purely descriptive character and the pathophysiology of signal alterations in MRI shows a broad spectrum certainly not always corresponding to increased liquid contents. The recommendations therefore tend towards the use of the neutral terms"osteitis","bone marrow edema-like lesion" or"bone marrow lesion" instead of the misleading term"bone marrow edema".
