The conus medullaris is normal in position.Mild degenerative changes are seen including disc desiccation at the L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 levels. Individual levels as below:L1-L2: No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L2-L3: No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L3-L4: No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L4-L5: No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L5-S1: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or left neural foraminal stenosis. Mild right neural foraminal narrowing. Facet arthropathy is evident, particularly on the right.Paraspinous soft tissues are within normal limits.
