I Want My MRI Explain To Me Please REASON FOR
I want my MRI explain to me please
REASON FOR EXAM: low back and leg pain, bilateral, M54.16 Radiculopathy, lumbar region ABF
PROVIDED CLINICAL INFORMATION: Has been provided with PO valium
Exam: MRI lumbar spine without contrast.
Technique: Multiplanar multisequence images were obtained the lumbar spine without contrast. Axial images extend from T12-L1 through L5-S1 and oblique axial images through the disc spaces extend from L1-L2 through L5-S1.
Findings: The conus medullaris ends is normal signal intensity and contour and terminates at L1-L2.
Lower thoracic levels are unremarkable the basis of sagittal images.
T12-L1 level is unremarkable.
Minimal broad-based disc bulge is seen at the L1-L2 level resulting in no central canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing.
L2-L3 level demonstrates a minimal broad-based disc bulge resulting in no central canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing.
L3-L4 level demonstrates A tiny broad-based disc bulge and mild facet joint osteoarthritis and hypertrophy. There is minimal retrolisthesis of L3 on L4. There is no significant central canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing. Mild crowding of the
lateral recesses noted with abutment of the traversing L4 nerve roots bilaterally.
L4-L5 level demonstrates a broad-based disc bulge and mild facet joint osteoarthritis and hypertrophy. Mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing is identified. There is minimal central canal stenosis.
L5-S1 level demonstrates a tiny central disc protrusion and mild to moderate bilateral facet joint osteoarthritis and hypertrophy. There is moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. No significant central canal stenosis.
No significant abnormal marrow or muscle signal is demonstrated.
Impression
Impression: Mild multilevel spondylitic change involving the lumbar spine, as detailed above. This results in mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing and minimal central canal stenosis at L4-L5 as well as moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing
at L5-S1. Other findings, as above.
