 THORACIC: The thoracic vertebral body alignment and signal are within normal limits with a small probable sclerotic T1/T2 hypointense bone island in T8 vertebral body. There is minimal desiccation and loss of disk height at T7-T8. The remaining disk spaces, and vertebral body heights are preserved. The cord signal and caliber are within normal limits. There is mild posterior epidural lipomatosis which diffusely narrows the spinal canal caliber without significant spinal canal stenosis. There is no evidence of acute cord compression of the thoracic spine.There is a small central disk protrusion at T7-8 which effaces the ventral CSF space without significant cord deformity. There is a small right paracentral disk protrusion at T10-11 without significant spinal stenosis. Otherwise, there is no significant disk herniation, or spinal stenosis.There may be minimal dependent atelectasis in the posterior lungs.LUMBAR: There are 5 lumbar type vertebral bodies. The L5-S1 disk is somewhat diminutive but well formed (when counting from the top of the cervical spine). There is normal alignment of the lumbar spine. The vertebral body heights are preserved. The osseous marrow signal is somewhat heterogeneous without a focal lesion except for scattered benign hemangiomas. The conus terminates at L1. The conus shows normal caliber and signal. There is no filum lipoma.L1-2: No disk herniation or spinal stenosis.L2-3: No disk herniation or spinal stenosis.L3-4: Mild disk bulge and moderate bilateral facet arthropathy with no significant spinal stenosis.L4-5: Mild diffuse disk bulge and facet arthropathy with minimal bilateral neural foraminal narrowing and no significant spinal canal stenosis.L5-S1: No significant disk herniation or spinal stenosis.
1.No evidence of acute cord compression.2.Small central disk protrusion at T7-8 which effaces the ventral CSF without significant cord deformity.
