Brief Answer:
Need details...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This MRI of the spine is abnormal. The scan revealed lesions in the upper back (thoracic spine) which are more likely due to tuberculosis. However the radiologist isn't able to rule out possibilities of tumor.

May I know the reason why the scan was performed? What symptoms did the patient have?
Did he have history of tuberculosis?

Regards
