Detailed explanation-1: -Yellow bone marrow contains 80% fat, 15% water and 5% protein (Table 1). The most sensitive sequence used for imaging of bone marrow changes is T1-weighted sequence (SE), since signal intensity on T1-weighted images is mostly influenced by the presence of fat [2].
Detailed explanation-2: -Bone marrow contains high levels of fat and calories, but it also has nutrients like vitamin B12.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fat cells, including those found in the bone marrow, are increasingly recognised as an important part of the body that helps regulate body weight, insulin sensitivity and bone mass. Fat tissue in the bone marrow expands as people age, or when they take certain diabetes medications, and during prolonged fasting.
