Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
CT scan and MRI scan can specifically say if a particular fat, water or anything else.
I am sure your doctors have found fat in your spine and reported accordingly.
There is less chance of a mistake happening with it.
You can compare this with any previous scan that you have.
Hope this helps.
