Bone edema on magnetic resonance imaging is highly associated with low bone mineral density in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Bone edema on magnetic resonance imaging is highly associated with low bone mineral density in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

This study aimed to assess the relationship between bone marrow edema (BME) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).The study included 333 patients with AS who underwent BMD measurements and axial MRI. Additionally, 106 normal c...
