Bone marrow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): morphological and functional features from reconversion to infiltration.

ABSTRACT: Bone marrow is a dynamic organ with variable composition in relation to age or pathophysiological changes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the technique of choice to assess the different components of the bone marrow based on the different information provided by the different characteristics of the MRI sequences. This article provides an overview of the MRI appearances of normal and abnormal bone marrow. We review the MRI features of normal developmental red marrow- to yellow-conversion, reconversion and physiologic conditions. We review the key imaging techniques used in assessing bone marrow pathology in MRI, including T1-weighted, T2-weighted, Dixon chemical shift imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging, as well as dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI. It is discussed the bone marrow
