Here complete MRI report

MRI CERVICAL SPINE :
Sequences performed:
Sagittal T1 & T2 FSE; Axial T1 & T2 FSE without contrast.
Axial & sagittal T1 post constrast.
FINDINGS:
-The cranio-cervical junction looks normal.
-Normal alignment of the vertebral bodies.
-There is no significant marrow replacement.
-The cord exhibits normal size & signal intensity.
-The discs retain height & signal intensity without any evidence of significant disc protrusion.
-At C5C6 levels a R. sided osteophyte formation is seen from the lower & posterior margin of C5. It encroaches on the epidural space only without any encroachment on the exiting nerve root.
-The spinal canal is patent.
-No encroachment on the intervertebral foramina is seen.

Comments:
osteophyte formation at R. C5C6 with encroachment on the epidural space only.

X RAY report :
1-Mild scoliosis with convexity.
2-Height loss C4 C5 (mostly) & c6 vertebral bodies.
3-Narrowing of C4/5 & C5/6 disc spaces.
4-Uncodiscarthrosis from C3 to C6.
5-Right C5/6 exit foramen narrowing.
6-Degenerative changes at C6/7 apophyseal joints.
Impression:
Degenerative disease.
