There is mild straightening of normal lumbar lordosis. The vertebral
body heights are maintained. There are multilevel mild endplate
degenerative edema changes. There is hemangioma involving T12
vertebral body. No signal abnormality of visualized distal thoracic
cord or conus is identified. Paraspinal muscle compartments are
unremarkable.

At L5-S1, there is mild disc space narrowing with changes of disc
desiccation and diffuse annular bulge. There is superimposed small
posterior central disc protrusion, touches the ventral thecal sac and
emerging S1 root. There is no limiting central canal stenosis. There
is mild right and moderate left foraminal narrowing secondary to
annular bulge, marginal osteophyte formation and degenerative changes
of facet joint.

At L4-L5, there is mild disc space narrowing with changes of disc
desiccation. There is diffuse annular bulge causing ventral flattening
of thecal sac. There are mild to moderate degenerative changes of
facet joint. There is lateral recess encroachment without limiting
central canal stenosis. There is mild proximal bilateral foraminal
encroachment.

At L3-L4, there is disc space narrowing with changes of disc
desiccation and diffuse annular bulge causing minimal ventral
flattening of thecal sac. There is no limiting central canal stenosis.
Mild degenerative changes of facet joint are present bilaterally.
There is mild bilateral proximal foraminal encroachment without
significant mass effect on intraforaminal L3 root.

At L2-L3, there is disc space narrowing with changes of disc
desiccation. There is mild diffuse annular bulge without limiting
central canal or foraminal stenosis. Moderate degenerative changes of
facet joint are present bilaterally.
