What Does The MRI Of Brain Suggest?
My brain MRI showed slight heterogeneity in bone marrow . I had the MRI done due to random electric, shocking zaps behind my left knee cap as well as discomfort/soreness in my left arm (elbow to fingers). What does slight heterogeneity in bone marrow mean?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
It means there are different types of signals from bone marrow and it may be due to injury,radiation etc.It is due to replacement of bone marrow by fat and it is causing the difference in appearance on the scan.
You need further clinical evaluation.
