To discuss the role of MR imaging in spinal marrow with emphasis on physiological changes and various pathologies involving the spinal marrow. 

1)  To discuss the role of MRI in spinal marrow assessment with optimal use of sequences. 2) To illustrate the physiological  changes in  the marrow with advancing age  3) To illustrate the patterns of marrow involvement in reconversion process in haemolytic anemias and haematological malignancies. 4)  Patterns of marrow infiltration and replacement in primary and secondary malignancies. 5) Patterns of marrow depletion in post therapy patients.  6)  Considerations like marrow involvement in HIV, vertebral fractures, infectious and degenerative processes ,           spinal flurosis
