Abstrakt: This article, titled "Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Normal Variants of Bone Marrow of the Pediatric Knee," discusses the normal bone marrow findings in pediatric patients on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and highlights variations of bone that may be mistaken for pathology or become symptomatic. The study examined 72 patients with knee pain and 26 asymptomatic patients using MRI. The findings include the appearance of hematopoietic marrow in certain areas, the presence of a focal periphyseal edema zone, the differentiation of secondary ossification center from osteochondritis dissecans, the visibility of a posterior metaphyseal stripe in the posterior proximal tibia, and the misinterpretation of certain findings as fractures or abnormal conditions. The article concludes that understanding normal variants and incidental findings will help in interpreting and distinguishing abnormal conditions. [Extracted from the article]
