A member asked:
What does "overuse uptake is noted at both medial knees" mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contrast imaging: I take it that you have had a contrast imaging of the knee. The term means that there is a filling defect in part of the knee (probably cartilage) that was filled with the contrast material and that how it is shown on the image. Probably the defect is secondary to overuse of the knee.
