"Signal characteristics follow differences in fatty versus haematopoietic marrow. Reported patterns include 3:"
"focal low-signal (both TI and T2) areas (likely representing islands of active haematopoietic cells) interspersed with high-SI areas in the marrow of the spine. Note this pattern is also seen in lymphoma, metastases and myeloma."
"Aplastic anaemia manifests as a marked reduction in the number of pluripotent haematopoietic stem cells. It is immune-mediated in most cases where autoreactive lymphocytes mediate the destruction of haematopoietic stem cells. Environmental exposures (e.g. drugs, viruses, and toxins) are thought to initiate the aberrant immune response in some patients, but most cases are classified as idiopathic."
