What Does This MRI Report Indicate?
Conclusion: Normal MRI scan, no abnormalities noted
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. A natural process occurring in the bone marrow entails the conversion of red bone marrow (which is present at birth) to yellow bone marrow.
This process of conversion is seen during the entire childhood up until adult life (approximately 22-25 years of age). But it should be noted that some red marrow can remain in the long bones of the body which can then be converted later on in life, which can be picked up by an MRI scan, but should not be considered as a pathology (or anything abnormal), as this is a normal process.
Another process of reconversion can occur during the later years in life, which entails the conversion of red bone marrow to yellow bone marrow, and occurs much later in life.
So the changes or signal received from the bone marrow during the MRI scan indicates the conversion process, and is not to be considered as anything abnormal like a destructive process or any other condition that could present as an abnormality.
Conclusion: Normal MRI scan indicating just the normal ageing process, and nothing abnormal.
I hope I have explained things in a manner best understood by you. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
