Back pain, r/o abscess History: Focal spinal tenderness, HIV+, urinary incontinence Vertebral body heights in the thoracic spine are normal. Alignment is normal. No abnormal signal is seen within the thoracic cord. No evidence of epidural or paraspinous fluid collections. No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. Bone marrow is heterogeneous similar to prior which is nonspecific without focal suspicious lesions.Vertebral body heights in the lumbar spine are normal. Alignment is normal. Bone marrow is heterogeneous, which is nonspecific, without focal suspicious lesions. Conus is in normal position. No evidence of epidural or paraspinous fluid collections. No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.
Slightly limited evaluation for infection in the absence of intravenous gadolinium.
