 The signal intensity of the vertebral column demonstrates extensive changes related to degenerative changes and is unremarkable otherwise. Alignment is anatomic. The conus is normal in signal and morphology and terminates at an appropriate level.T12/L1 is unremarkable and unchanged.L1/2 is unremarkable and unchanged.L2/3 demonstrates mild degenerative changes. No central spinal stenosis. Mild bilateral neural foraminal compromise is unchanged.L3/4 demonstrates mild degenerative changes. There is mild bilateral facet and ligamentum flavum hypertrophic changes. No central spinal stenosis. There is mild left and moderate right neural foraminal stenosis, unchanged.L4/5 demonstrates mild to moderate disk desiccation without significant loss of disk height, mild left facet and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy. Minimal facet degenerative changes on the right. No evidence of central spinal stenosis. There is mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. In the left lateral ventral spinal canal at this level there remains a focus of ferromagnetic metallic artifact. Redemonstrated is a small annular fissure.L5/S1 demonstrates degenerative disk disease, loss of intervertebral disk height and extensive adjacent Modic signal changes of the endplates. There is no central spinal stenosis. Moderate right and mild left neural foraminal compromise is unchanged.
1.L2/3: Mild bilateral neural foraminal, unchanged.2.L3/4: Mild left and moderate right neural foraminal stenosis, unchanged.3.L4/5: Mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. In the left lateral ventral spinal canal at this level there remains a focus of ferromagnetic metallic artifact. Redemonstrated is a small annular fissure.4.L5/S1: Moderate right and mild left neural foraminal compromise is unchanged.
