 There are primarily sclerotic (T1 and T2 hypointense) foci within the L1 and T9 vertebral bodies, containing mild STIR hyperintensity. These correlate with previous sclerotic lesions identified on x-ray comparison.There are no fractures. The conus is normal in signal and morphology and terminates at an appropriate position. T12/L1: UnremarkableL1/2: Trace retrolisthesis L1 on L2, a small left paracentral disc protrusion with associated osteophyte, and mild bilateral facet hypertrophy. There is marked left lateral recess stenosis.L2/3: Asymmetric bulge to the left and mild bilateral facet hypertrophy without stenosis.L3/4: Trace retrolisthesis L3 on L4, a shallow central to right paracentral disc protrusion, asymmetric bulge to the left, and minimal left facet hypertrophy. There is mild left neural foraminal stenosis.L4/5: There are small bilateral foraminal disc protrusions as well as moderate left facet hypertrophy and mild to moderate right facet hypertrophy. There is mild left neural foraminal and mild-to-moderate right neuroforaminal stenosis.L5/S1:Minimal disc bulge, minimal left facet hypertrophy, and moderate to severe right facet hypertrophy containing a small right facet effusion. There are no significant stenoses.
