bleuonej:1DMRI of Cervical Spine:*The vertebral bodies demonstrate straightening of the cervical curvature. The marrow signal is desiccated and there is mild height loss of the mid intervertebral discs.*The paraspinous soft tissues demonstrates a less than 1 cm lymph node in the posterior triangle of the right neck.*The C1-C2 articulation demonstrates mild to moderate degenerate disease. There is moderate posterior facet arthropathy of the cervical spine.*C3-C4 there is moderate posterior facet and uncovertebral joint degenerative disease.C4-C5 there is a small central disc osteophyte complex that effaces the ventral thecal sac. There is exuberant bilateral uncovertebral joint hypertrophy and lateral facet arthropathy resulting in moderate right and mild left neural foraminal narrowing.*C5-C6 There is a large left paracentral disc osteophyte. There is moderate bilateral uncovertebral joint and lateral facet arthropathy. These findings result in moderate left and severe right neural foraminal narrowing.*MRI of Lumbar Spine:*L3-L4 there is a small borad-based disc bulge with effacement of the thecal sac. There is a linear area of hyperintense T2 signal within the posterior aspect of the disc indicating a small annular tear.*L4-L5 There is a 12 x 8 mm left foraminal disc protrusion resulting in abutment of the exiting L4 nerve root. The right neural foramen is patent.*
