From: Semiquantitative assessment of subchondral bone marrow edema-like lesions and subchondral cysts of the knee at 3T MRI: A comparison between intermediate-weighted fat-suppressed spin echo and Dual Echo Steady State sequences

Figure 3

61-year old woman with medial tibio-femoral knee osteoarthritis. a: Sagittal intermediate-weighted (IW) fat-suppressed image depicts a grade 2 subchondral bone marrow edema-like lesion at the central medial tibial plateau that extends to the anterior subregion (long white arrows show the approximate location of the ill-defined margin of the lesion). In addition, there is a grade 1 subchondral bone marrow edema-like lesion at the posterior medial femur (short white arrows show the approximate location of the ill-defined margin of the lesion). b: Sagittal Dual Echo Steady-State (DESS) image shows no bone marrow edema-like lesion in neither the femur nor the tibia.
