Other features associated with bone-marrow-like signal. In case of intense BME-like signal intensity, the area immediately adjacent to the subchondral bone plate may show a very intense, finely linear high signal on fat-suppressed T2-weighted images (arrowheads), which could be linked to hyperemia of this richly vascularized area. Edema-like high signal intensity may also involve the neighboring soft tissues (arrow)
