LUKAS JAMES A MASTRIANNI Cervical spine:The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. No abnormal lesions are appreciated within the cervical spinal cord, though, artifacts may obscure more subtle abnormalities.No abnormal enhancing lesions are appreciated in the cervical spine.At C2-3 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C3-4 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C7-T1 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact.MRI thoracic spine:The thoracic vertebral bodies are appropriate in the overall alignment and height. The thoracic spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. There is no compromise of thoracic spinal canal or exiting nerve roots. No abnormal lesions are appreciated within the thoracic spinal cord, though, artifacts may obscure more subtle abnormalities.No abnormal enhancing lesions are appreciated in the thoracic spine.
1.No abnormal lesions are appreciated within the cervical or thoracic spinal cord, though, artifacts may obscure more subtle abnormalities.2.There is no significant compromise to cervical thoracic spinal cord exiting nerve roots appreciated.
