P.1912 right column 3rd paragraph: "Although red marrow and yellow marrow are described as discrete elements for convenience, they are actually intermixed within the medullary space. Their proportions determine the overall
distribution of fat and water (red marrow, 40% fat and 40% water, yellow marrow, 80% fat and 15% water), which ultimately determines the MR [Magnetic resonance] imaging signal intensity. Marrow disease often replaces the residential marrow fat with water." |
