Low thoracic pain, rule out disk herniation or nerve compression Thoracic vertebral body heights are maintained. There is mild thoracic dextrocurvature. Alignment is otherwise maintained. No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis is seen. Thoracic cord is normal in signal and contour. Bone marrow signal is benign with no suspicious lesions. Small perineural cysts are incidentally noted at the T1-2 level.Mild degenerative changes are seen. Minimal disk bulges are seen at T2-T3, T3-T4, and T5-T6 without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. No significant disk disease in the lower thoracic spine is appreciated. There is facet arthropathy at the T11-T12 and T12-L1 levels. Disk osteophyte complex at the C6-C7 level is noted without significant spinal canal stenosis.
1. Mild degenerative changes in the thoracic spine without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis at any level.2. Facet arthropathy in the lower thoracic spine at the T11-T12 and T12-L1 levels which may be contributing to patient's lower thoracic pain.
