 Alignment is anatomic. There are no fractures or subluxations. The marrow signal is benign. The cervical and upper thoracic cord are normal in signal. The cervicomedullary junction is normal. The cerebellar tonsils are in normal position. A previously identified cyst in the right thyroid lobe is not well appreciated with current MRI technique. Otherwise the visualized paraspinal contents are unremarkable.C2/3: UnremarkableC3/4: Posterior osteophyte disc complex and bilateral uncinate hypertrophy. There is moderate bilateral neural foraminal stenosis.C4/5: Posterior osteophyte disc complex and bilateral uncinate hypertrophy. There is mild left and moderate right neural foraminal stenosis.C5/6: Posterior osteophyte disc complex causes anterior cord flattening without intrinsic cord signal abnormality. There is also bilateral uncinate hypertrophy and ligamentum flavum thickening. There is mild central and severe bilateral neural foraminal stenosis.C6/7: Posterior osteophyte disc complex and bilateral uncinate hypertrophy. There is severe bilateral neural foraminal stenosis.C7/T1: Unremarkable
