At the end of viewing this exhibit the learner should be able to: Explain why magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the single most effective radiological tool to detect bone marrow edema-like lesions (BMEL). List several constituents of BMEL on MR images. Ask several questions that would help to narrow down the differential diagnostic considerations with regard to BMEL on MRI. Describe several characteristic patterns of BMEL on MRI that can help in making specific diagnoses. Name several conditions where the temporal course of BMEL on MRI would be suggestive.

What is suggested by bone marrow edema-like lesions (BMEL) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)?  Concepts of resolution in radiology and how they relate to bone marrow imaging  MRI in showing BMEL: strengths and challenges  How to approach bone marrow edema-like signal alterations on MRI?: asking relevant questions  Temporal change in BMEL on MRI: diagnostic possibilities  Take home messages
