The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact. There is mild multilevel disk dessication present.At L5-S1 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is mild facet hypertrophy present at this level.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is mild facet hypertrophy present at this level.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.Some of the images are degraded due to patient motion.
There are mild degenerative changes in the lumbar spine without compromise to lumbar spinal canal or neural foramina.Some images are degraded due to patient motion. This may obscure more subtle abnormalities.
