not a pro at this but I'll give it a try.


evaluation is complicated by motion artifact - blurry imaging for some reason - difficult to decipher

Dextro scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that goes to the right, when viewed from behind

Levo scoliosis is the condition where your spine curves to the left more than 10 degrees

posterolisthesis - Backward displacement of a vertebra on a lower one (opposite of anterolisthesis)

This looks to be one of the main points-
[large broad based disc herniation affecting ventral epidural fat and producing bilateral lateral recess stenosis with compression of rights s 1 nerve root. herniation extends imferiorly from disc space level by approximately 6 millimeters consistent with extrusion.]

-A disc herniation is the term given to any uneven out-pouching or bulging of the posterior region (back region) of the intervertebral disc as seen on MRI

-Spinal stenosis occurs when the space around the spinal cord narrows. This puts pressure on the spinal cord and the spinal nerve roots, and may cause pain,

-A foramen is an opening or hole which lets nerves and blood vessels pass through bone.

[Neural foramina are narrowed bilaterally]
