Radiculopathy. The vertebral body heights are maintained. Mild loss of vertebral disc signal at L4-5 and L5-S1 along with minimal loss of disc height. Mild straightening of the lumbar lordosis, otherwise the alignment is anatomic. Nonspecific heterogeneous marrow signal without discrete lesion. The visualized spinal cord is normal in signal and morphology. The conus medullaris terminates at the L1-2 level.T12-L1: No disc bulge, spinal canal stenosis, or neuroforaminal narrowing.L1-L2: No disc bulge, spinal canal stenosis, or neuroforaminal narrowing.L2-L3: No disc bulge, spinal canal stenosis, or neuroforaminal narrowing.L3-L4: Mild diffuse disc bulge. Mild thickening of the ligamentum flavum. Minimal left neural foraminal narrowing. No significant right neural foraminal or spinal canal stenosis.L4-L5: Moderate disc bulge slightly asymmetric to the right with a central annular fissure. Mild hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum. Minimal left and mild to moderate right neural foraminal narrowing. No spinal canal stenosis.L5-S1: Prominent right paracentral annular fissure and disc protrusion. Mild hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum and facet arthropathy. The disc protrusion effaces the lateral recesses and impinges on the bilateral S1 nerve roots, right greater than left. There is also mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. Mild spinal canal stenosis.
Prominent central disc protrusion at L5-S1 which impinges on the S1 nerve roots, right greater than left. There is also mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing at this level.
