Low back pain and nerve tension signs. There is an incompletely imaged small disc bulge at T12-L1, which appears to mildly indent the conus medullaris, but no intraparenchymal signal abnormality. There is mild degenerative endplate signal alteration at T12-L1, but no bone marrow edema, and mild focal kyphosis associated with mild anterior wedging of L1. The rest of the vertebral column alignment and vertebral bone marrow signal is within normal limits. There is no significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis from L1 to S1. The L2 to L5 vertebral body heights are preserved. The paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
Incompletely imaged small disc bulge at T12-L1, which appears to mildly indent the conus medullaris. Dedicated thoracic spine imaging may be useful for further evaluation.
