Hi, I don't know what it means either. I have had lots of MRIs in the last 2 years and they all reported something similar. I had marrow infiltration of the bones at the base of the skull and thoracic and cervical vertebrae. This was assumed to be part of the Myelodysplastic Syndrome but I have since been rediagnosed as having bone marrow failure secondary to copper deficiency.
My assumption is that any disease process (including infections) which cause high cell turnover in the marrow can cause this finding on MRI.
As I said this is only my thinking on the subject and I most definitely am not medically very savvy.
Regards
