Correlation of bone marrow cellularity and metabolic activity in healthy volunteers with simultaneous PET/MR imaging

To evaluate the correlation between bone marrow cellularity (BMC) and metabolic activity in healthy subjects and to see whether yellow marrow is indeed metabolically quiescent. Because metabolic activity can be assumed to reflect vascularity, we assessed the relationship between regional metabolic activity and geographic frequency of metastases as noted in the literature. Two hundred and twenty locations (ten in each side of the pelvis and...
