Amy,

This is an interesting question. I don't think I know anyone who has ever had an MRI to evaluate treatment or distinguish AA from MDS. However, a brief google search shows there has been some research done in this area:
"MRI in the Detection of Malignant Infiltration of Bone Marrow" -- A Commentary

Usefulness of FDG-PET (Positron Emission Tomography) in the Discrimination between Hypoplastic Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Aplastic Anemia

Evidence for clonal disease by magnetic resonance imaging in patients with hypoplastic marrow disorders
Has your doctor recommended an MRI for you?

Regards,
Ruth Cuadra
