摘要

Background

Nonbacterial osteitis (NBO) is a rare autoinflammatory bone disease primarily affecting children and adolescents. The absence of a unified definition and standardized diagnostic criteria complicates clinical diagnosis and management.

Objectives

This study aims to systematically review the current literature regarding the definition of NBO and assess the role of imaging particularly whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as the use of the radiologic index for nonbacterial osteitis (RINBO) score in diagnosis and disease monitoring.

Materials and methods

A thorough literature review was conducted, focusing on radiological methods including whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB MRI) and the application of the RINBO score.

Results

Whole-body MRI demonstrates high sensitivity for detecting inflammatory bone lesions and proves useful for both diagnosis and follow-up. Conventional X‑ray imaging offers additional information about structural bone damage. The RINBO score serves as a practical tool for standardizing diagnostic interpretation.

Conclusion

The combination of whole-bodyMRI and the RINBO score enables structured and reproducible evaluation of NBO. Establishing uniform diagnostic criteria remains a central goal for future research.
