A : Multiple small foci of low signal intensity are seen scattered throughout the maroow of the tarsal bones on this sagittal T1-weighted image (SE 500/12). B : The foci display high signal intensity on a corresponding proton density image with fat saturation (FSE 2,900/20). This marrow pattern is now recognized as a normal variant in children and runners. The foci are believed to represent marrow edema althought their etiology is unclear. intensity on a coronal T2-weighted image B : (SE 2,000/80). Since the patient did not develop radiographically evident osteoporosis, the patient was believed to have transient bone marrow edema syndrome by exclusion
