Low back pain. Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present. Vertebral body heights are within normal limits. There is mild disc desiccation at T11-12 and T12-L1. Lumbar alignment is within normal limits. Bone marrow signal is diffusely heterogeneous, probably related to patient's age. The conus medullaris is normal in position.Multilevel degenerative changes are seen, as described below:L1-L2: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L2-L3: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L3-L4: There is minimal bilateral facet arthropathy. No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L4-L5: There is minimal bilateral facet arthropathy. No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L5-S1: There is moderate bilateral facet arthropathy. No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.Paraspinous soft tissues are within normal limits.
1.Mild degenerative changes without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis at any level. 2.Multilevel facet arthropathy, relatively worse at L5-S1, which may be contributing to patient's low back pain.
