 The vertebral column alignment is within normal limits. The vertebral body heights are preserved. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable. The imaged spinal cord displays normal signal and morphology and the conus terminates at T12-L1. There is no evidence of intraspinal mass or abnormal enhancement. The paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.L1-L2: Unremarkable.L2-L3: Unremarkable.L3-L4: Unremarkable.L4-L5: There is disc desiccation, minimal disc height loss, and a mild disc bulge with central annular fissure, as well as mild ligamentum flavum thickening. These findings result in mild spinal canal stenosis and mild posterior displacement of the descending left L5 nerve root and encroachment upon the subarticular zone but no significant neural foramen stenosis.L5-S1: There is disc desiccation, mild loss of disc height, mild Modic type I endplate degenerative changes, and a mild disc bulge with a superimposed mild central disc protrusion. Findings result in moderate right neural foramen stenosis and mild spinal canal stenosis with mild posterior displacement of the descending left S1 nerve root and encroachment upon the subarticular zone.
1.Mild degenerative changes with mild spinal canal stenosis at L4-L5 and L5-S1 as well as moderate right neural foramen stenosis at L5-S1. Minimal posterior displacement of the descending descending left L5 and S1 nerve roots.2.No evidence of intraspinal mass or abnormal enhancement.
