Need more info: It depends on the body part imaged and why the MRI was performed. Marrow can be hypointense normally in certain parts of the body. In childhood, a "marrow conversion" occurs where marrow in certain parts of the body changes from t1 hypo to t1 hyperintense. So, just depends on the situation.
