Eval for diskitis or compression fx, other pathology? History: low back pain Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present which are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact.At L5-S1 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L3-4 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L2-3 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L1-2 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.The patient's kidneys are not identified in their usual location. There is a CT of the abdomen which demonstrates a left-sided pelvic kidney
1.No compromise to lumbar spinal canal or neural foramina.2.There is no convincing evidence for diskitis or osteomyelitis on the basis of this exam
