RUBEIZ The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. No abnormal enhancing lesions are identified in the cervical spine.Exam is mildly degraded due to patient motion.At C2-3 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C3-4 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a small central disc protrusion present this levelAt C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C7-T1 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact.
1.There are minor degenerative changes present in the cervical spine.2.No abnormal lesions are appreciated in this cervical spinal cord. Please note the exam is mildly degraded patient motion artifact which may obscure more subtle abnormalities.
