✦ Synopsis

The proton spectroscopic imaging technique that uses read gradient during acquisition was used for the measurement of the proton spectra in the lumbar and thoracic part of the spine of a patient with breast cancer without known skeletal metastases. The bone marrow fat/water ratios were evaluated in the same location before and after chemotherapy treatment. The results were corrected for relaxation effects. The fat/water ratios showed a significant increase as a consequence of the bone marrow degradation process due to chemotherapy. The proposed spectroscopic imaging technique offers rapid acquisition of proton spectra from large volumes of the vertebral bodies.

## Abstract The presence of lymphoglandular bodies (LGB) or Söderström bodies is often stated to be a feature of lymphoid processes. In our experience, LGB are typically identified in B‐cell processes but not in T‐cell lymphomas or myeloid leukemias. We reviewed 136 bone marrow aspirate smears. The
