A member asked:
What do dark spots on my mri bone scan on my spine mean?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unable to answer: T1 images will show water, air, and cortical bone as dark. T2 images will show air, cortical bone, and other hydrophobic substances as dark. So depends on image acquisition and anatomy.
