 Limited sagittal images of the entire spine do not demonstrate any evidence of acute cord compression. Vertebral body heights are grossly preserved. There is nonspecific, patchy increased STIR signal within the T3 vertebral body with corresponding decreased T1 signal. There is no associated apparent destruction of the T3 vertebral body. Soft tissue edema is present within the lumbar posterior subcutaneous soft tissues which is nonspecific.
1.No evidence of acute cord compression. 2.Bone marrow signal abnormality within the T3 vertebral body is nonspecific and could be related to both benign or malignant etiologies. CT can be considered for further evaluation to assess bony integrity. Discussed with SANTOS DE LIMA, FABIANE.
