Clinical question: Rule out spinal abscess and single bacteremia and candidemia. The skull hematocrit radiologist, with it DWI imaging of any concerning areas. Nonenhanced complete spine MRI:Examination demonstrate unremarkable signal intensity of vertebral column and with normal anatomical alignment.There is no evidence of the spinal canal compromise or stenosis at any level and no detectable mass effect on the cord. There is no detectable epidural abnormality at this exam. Unremarkable perispinal soft tissues.There is right-sided pleural effusion measuring at maximum of 15-mm on this exam.Multiple loculated low attenuation masses in the uterus are concerning for fibroids. Follow for dedicated studies is recommended.
1.Normal signal intensity and caliber of cervical/thoracic cord and conus and without evidence of mass effect.2.Normal signal intensity and alignment of the vertebral column and without detectable epidural abnormalities as detailed.3.No evidence of spinal canal or neural foraminal compromise at any level.4.Pleural effusion on the right as detailed.
