Core Tip	Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is increasingly used for inflammation-predominant knee osteoarthritis, making accurate post-procedure imaging interpretation essential. This review summarizes expected magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiographic findings after GAE, emphasizes that inflammatory features (synovial enhancement and effusion-synovitis) are the most consistent imaging response signals, and highlights pitfalls in overcalling persistent structural osteoarthritis findings (osteophytes, cartilage defects, joint space narrowing) as treatment failure. Semiquantitative MRI scoring systems used in published GAE studies are reviewed to support consistent assessment and follow-up.
