title: [MRI of normal spinal epidural fat].
abstract: The authors perform a retrospective study of 65 spines examined with MRI. They specify the distribution of normal posterior epidural fat and establish the relationship between the anteroposterior thickness of epidural fat and the sagittal diameter of the spine on axial sections. On sagittal sections, the fat has a variable appearance, but a constant location along the spinal canal.
