Article Synopsis
- Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders cause a lot of pain and can make life hard for patients, and regular imaging can't always show what’s wrong.
- PET imaging is special because it can help find problems in the body before they can be seen in regular tests, and it can also show how well treatments are working.
- This review talks about how PET imaging can be used for MSK issues like arthritis and osteoporosis, new technology for this type of imaging, and how it could help doctors give better care in the future.

Article Synopsis
- * New imaging technologies like perfusion MRI and molecular imaging are helping researchers study the mechanisms behind chronic knee pain, especially related to inflammation.
- * These advanced imaging techniques may lead to improved treatments and could also serve as biomarkers to predict how well patients will respond to these treatments.
