Bone marrow degenerative changes and MRI

1-This could be evaluated only by MRI.
2-Can be classified into the following:

-Type 1: 
Here the bone marrow is involved by edema so it will appears in T1 as low intensity while in T2 it will appears as hyper intense structure.

-Type 2:
 Here the bone marrow is suffering from fatty degeneration so it will appear as hyper intense in T1 and hypo intense in T2 as fat signal.

-Type 3: 
Here the bone marrow appears hypo intense in both T1&T2 due to bone sclerosis.
