 The patient was unable to complete the study secondary to pain thus axial thoracic spine, entire lumbar spine, and all contrast enhanced images were not obtained. The patient stated a desire to reschedule the exam at a later date.Several sequences are motion degraded, with attempts to repeat when possible.Cervical spine:There is reversal of normal upper cervical curvature. The marrow signal is benign. The cervical and upper thoracic cord is normal in signal without abnormal enhancement. The cervicomedullary junction is normal. The cerebellar tonsils are in normal position. The visualized paraspinal contents are unremarkable.C2/3: UnremarkableC3/4: UnremarkableC4/5: UnremarkableC5/6: Posterior osteophyte disc complex and bilateral uncinate hypertrophy contribute to mild left neural foraminal and moderate right neural foraminal stenosis.C6/7: Posterior osteophyte disc complex and bilateral uncinate hypertrophy contribute to severe left neural foraminal and moderate right neural foraminal stenosis.C7/T1: UnremarkableThoracic spine:Abnormal T2 hyperintensity is noted within the thoracic cord spanning the levels from T2 through T4/5 as well as more inferiorly from T9/10 through the conus, with mild conus expansion. Vertebral body heights are maintained and marrow signal is benign.
