Female, 57 years old, with pain and weakness. Evaluate for spinal cord process. Cervical:Spinal alignment is anatomic. Vertebral body height and morphology are within normal limits. No pathologic marrow replacement or marrow edema is seen.Within the limitations of mild motion artifact, no convincing cord signal abnormality is detected. No pathologic epidural process is suspected.The spinal canal is congenitally slender without significant superimposed disc degeneration, focal canal narrowing or compromise of the neural foramina.Thoracic:The thoracic kyphosis is mildly exaggerated, but sagittal alignment is otherwise within normal limits. Vertebral body height and morphology are within normal limits. No pathologic marrow replacement or marrow edema is seen.No definite spinal cord signal abnormality is detected. No epidural abnormality is suspected.The intervertebral discs are preserved with no significant bulging or herniation. The spinal canal and neural foramina remain patent.There may be a small left pleural effusion.
