Crazy Mri answers

I am here to try to find some MRI answers. I was injured at work and had an MRI a week ago. I received the results and there is an abnormal signal on y T7 vertebrae, which is exactly where the pain is. The vocational doc is telling me that the now injured body part has nothing to do with my work injury and to follow up with my own primary care provider. I am wondering how the doctor would know this, if further testing has not taken place.
The report reads "non-specific abnormal signal involving the posterior T7 vertebrae. If there is a cancer history, repeat MR thoracic spine imaging may be performed with contrast for further evaluation." I have no history of cancer and I am now waiting to get an EMG, for what is believed to be a pinched nerve, that was ordered by the Neuro doc. It seems the vocational doc has made up his mind that he is not doing any further testing to find out why there is an abnormal read on my T7.
Someone please enlighten me and tell me what this means in words I can understand. The vocational doc also mentioned to me, "that it could possibly be cancer". How would he know that without further testing?
