A member asked:
Child had knee mri and report said :small area of nonspecific enhancement in the marrow of the tibial epiphysis posteriorly what does this mean ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluid/swelling?: Usually an MRI picks up an enhanced signal when swelling is present. This means increased water is in the area. The exact reason for this is hard to tell you without more history and a good exam.
