 Limited examination of the complete spine shows no evidence of spinal cord compression or abnormal cord signal intensity. There is preservation of vertebral body heights and intervertebral disk spaces with normal lordotic curvature of the cervical and lumbar spine. Focal lesions are noted within the L1 and L5 vertebral bodies on STIR imaging and are nonspecific in the absence of contrast. Possible smaller lesion is also noted in the spinous processes of L1. Additional STIR hyperintense lesions is located anterior to the T4 vertebral body and adjacent to the aorta (series 6 or one, image 13) and along the aortic arch (series 601, image 3) are incompletely evaluated.
1.Limited evaluation of the spine with no evidence of spinal cord compression or abnormal cord signal intensity.2.Focal lesions in the L1 and L5 vertebral bodies, which are nonspecific but suspected to represent neoplastic process.3.Retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy and possible thoracic prevertebral and mediastinal lymphadenopathy is incompletely evaluated in this limited survey for acute spinal cord compression. Please refer to recent PET scan for further comments.
