| Abstract |
The ever increasing use of magnetic resonance imaging in clinical practice has led to the recognition of a new entity, bone marrow lesions (BMLs). These lesions are characterized by excessive water signals in the marrow space and have emerged as a central component of many different diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system. BMLs have in particular been associated with a wide variety of inflammatory and non-inflammatory rheumatologic conditions and are not only considered significant sources of pain, but also linked to the worsening of patient prognosis in many disease states. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on BMLs with an emphasis on the clinical and histological features of this entity in inflammatory and non-inflammatory disease and provide a unifying hypothesis based on the appearance with various imaging technologies. We also try to pair this hypothesis with the apparent beneficial effects of various treatment regimens, mainly within the group of bone antiresorptive drugs (calcitonin, bisphosphonates) on symptoms associated with BMLs. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 February 2023.
All research outputs
#3,907,146
of 23,394,907 outputs
Outputs from Rheumatology International
#337
of 2,241 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#21,046
of 127,100 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Rheumatology International
#4
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,394,907 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,241 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 127,100 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
