Advances in imaging have improved our understanding of the relationship between pathology and the structural changes to joints affected by osteoarthritis. New research indicates that subchondral bone marrow lesions might represent a potential imaging biomarker to quantify such structural changes.
影像学的进步提高了我们对病理学与受骨关节炎影响的关节结构变化之间关系的理解。新的研究表明,软骨下骨髓病变可能代表一种潜在的影像学生物标志物,可用于量化此类结构变化。
