Can anyone tell me what the below MRI results mean in terms that an everyday Joe can understand? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FINDINGS: Cervical vertebrae structure and alignment is unremarkable. There is a 4mm well-defined T2-weighted hyperintensity which is hypointense on T1-weighted sequence involving C4 vertebral body and likel is benign. Cervical cord charachteristics are unremarkable. No intradural or intramedullary abnormality identified. Disc segmental is given below: At C2-C3, there is mild left foraminal spondylotic narrowing. The right neuroforamen is unremarkable. There is no disc herniation and no evidence of central canal stenosis. At C3-C4, there are uncinate spurrings and mild degenerative facet arthropathy. The finding cause moderate to marked right and marked left foraminal spondylotic narrowing. No evidence of disc herniation. There is no central canal stenosis. At C4-C5, there is moderate to marked spondylotic narrowing of the left neuroforamen. The right neuroforamen is adequate. Posterior vertebral spondylosis causes ventral impression upon the thecal sac witout cord compression. At C5-C6, there is effacement of the subarachnoid space to to generalized disc bulge, posterior vertebral spondylosis and degenerative facet arthropathy. T2-weighted sequences at this level are mildly degraded due to motion artifacts. There does not apprear to be cord compression. There is mild right and moderate left foraminal spondylotic narrowing. At C6-C7, there is bulging of annulus fibrosis which causes mild ventral impression upon the thecal sac without cord compression. There is mild spondylotic narrowing of the left neural foramina. The right neuroforamen is adequate. At C7-T1, there is no central canal or peripheral stenosis. No disc herniation. IMPRESSION: Multilevel spondylosis. |
