low back pain. For the purpose of this dictation, the lowest visualized intervertebral disc space is labeled L5-S1. There is normal lumbar lordosis. The spine alignment is anatomic. The vertebral body height is preserved. The bone marrow and end plates demonstrate a normal MR appearance. The signal of the visualized cord is normal. The epidural space, thecal sac, and spinal cord are preserved with no evidence of spinal canal/neural foraminal narrowing. The conus medullaris terminates at the L1-L2 level.The intervertebral discs demonstrate normal T2 intensity and height with no evidence of disc herniation. The paraspinal soft tissues are unremarkable.There is no evidence of abnormal enhancement, cord compression or mass. Degenerative changes are specified by the intervertebral level as follows: T12-L1: disc dessication, no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L1-L2: disc dessication, minimal bulging of disc, no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L2-L3: disc dessication, minimal bulging of disc, no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L3-L4: disc dessication, minimal bulging of disc, no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L4-L5: disc dessication, minimal bulging of disc, no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L5-S1: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis.
Minimal degenerative changes of intervertebral discs, lumbar spine.Multilevel minimal disc bulging, otherwise unremarkable.
