Description
Duygu Erkal and three colleagues published an imaging study in two thousand twenty-six on how anaemia reshapes bone marrow. When blood haemoglobin falls, marrow works harder and its mix of fat and water shifts. MRI measures can capture that shift without a biopsy.
Ninety-three patients with abdominal scans and blood results were split into four groups by haemoglobin level. Three scan measures were compared: water movement, fat share, and a signal ratio. Fat share rose with haemoglobin, while water movement fell. Measures of red cell size spread tracked the scan values too. The most anaemic group had the lowest fat share and highest water movement. Reader agreement was excellent. The authors back MRI as a window on marrow adaptation.
