Female, 61 years old, with low back pain. Assess for signal changes. Cervical:Straightening of the cervical lordosis is seen. Sagittal alignment is unremarkable. Vertebral body height and morphology are within normal limits. No pathologic marrow replacement, edema or enhancement is seen.The visualized spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity and morphology. No pathologic parenchymal or leptomeningeal enhancement is detected within the limitations of motion artifact. No epidural abnormalities are seen.C2-3: Left facet arthropathy. No significant spinal canal stenosis. Minimal left foraminal narrowing.C3-4: Left facet arthropathy. No spinal canal stenosis. No significant foraminal narrowing. C4-5: Left facet arthropathy. Minimal posterior disc-osteophyte complex formation. No significant spinal canal stenosis related moderate left foraminal narrowing. C5-6: Loss of disc height with posterior disc-osteophyte complex formation. Effacement of the ventral thecal sac but no significant spinal canal stenosis. Moderate to severe bilateral foraminal narrowing. C6-7: Loss of disc height with posterior disc-osteophyte complex formation. Effacement of the ventral thecal sac but no significant spinal canal stenosis. Moderate bilateral foraminal narrowing. C7-T1: No spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing. Thoracic:A slight exaggeration of the thoracic kyphosis is seen. Sagittal alignment is otherwise unremarkable. Vertebral body heights are preserved. No pathologic marrow replacement, edema or enhancement is seen.The visualized spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity and morphology. No areas of pathologic parenchymal or leptomeningeal enhancement are detected. No epidural lesions are suspected.Minimal degenerative findings of the intervertebral disks and posterior elements are seen. No areas of significant spinal canal or foraminal stenosis are observed.
1.No evidence of marrow edema or pathologic spinal enhancement is seen. The spinal cord is within normal limits.2.Degeneration of the intervertebral discs and left-sided facets is seen in the cervical region. No high-grade spinal canal stenosis is detected. However, significant foraminal narrowing is evident on the left at C4-5 and bilaterally at C5-6 and C6-7.3.No significant abnormalities are detected in the thoracic spine.
