 There is motion artifact on almost every sequence limiting evaluation for subtle abnormalities.The thoracic spine is in normal alignment, with a slightly exaggerated thoracic kyphosis. The vertebral body and disk heights are well-maintained. No worrisome focal marrow signal abnormality is appreciated. The spinal cord is of normal caliber and signal. There is no abnormal T2 or STIR signal and no diffusion restriction.There is no significant disk bulge, herniation, spinal canal or foraminal stenosis within the thoracic spine. Bulky anterior osteophytes are noted at multiple levels. Bilateral pleural effusions and the known aortic dissection and stent graft are partially imaged.
Motion artifact on almost every sequence limits evaluation for subtle abnormalities. However, there is no evidence of spinal cord infarct or cord compression.
