Hello,

MRI report of disc bulge with annular teat at L4-L5 and S1 nerve root impaction on right side is the same as before.

Only lumbar canal diameter needs to be compared with previous report, as the present MRI spine reports moderate lumbar canal stenosis.

Lumbar canal stenosis is diagnosed when the sagittal diameter is the inter-penduncular distance

Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Tushar Kanti Biswas
