- Title
Reactive Sclerosis: Hyperintense Appearance on T2‐Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

- Abstract
Osteosclerosis is defined as increased density of bone on X‐ray imaging studies. It is known that osteosclerosis appears hypointense on both T1‐ and T2‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging sequences. In this review, we present our experience in various sclerotic skeletal pathologies that appear hyperintense on T2‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging. We emphasize the possible pathophysiological mechanisms that may cause this appearance, such as bone marrow edema and/or composition of newly formed bone.
