Volumetric localization of epidural fat among the different spinal levels. The smaller blue bar graphs depict the distribution of epidural fat among the different patients broken down by level from L2 to L5. Most of the graphs show an increasing quantity of fat from the upper to lower spine with only a couple having more heterogeneous distributions. The summary chart in the bottom right illustrates these distributions as a percent showing the predominately lower spinal concentration of epidural fat.
