 Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present which are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact. There is a mild levocurvature to the lumbar spine.At L5-S1 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a mild disc bulge and disc desiccation at this level associated with some endplate reactive changes. The endplate reactive changes are high signal on T1.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is mild ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and facet hypertrophy at this level associated with a diffuse disc bulge. There are some endplate reactive changes present at this level which are high signal on T1-weighted imagingAt L3-4 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L2-3 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L1-2 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a disc bulge present at this level.
There are some mild degenerative changes present in the lumbar spine without significant compromise to the spinal canal or exiting nerve roots.
