Hi everyone,

New here and looking for some help interpreting MRI results. I've been having some lower back pain for a while and will be seeing an orthopaedist in a couple weeks. Thanks.


FINDINGS: The paraspinal soft tissues are unremarkable. T1 bright osseous
hemangioma is seen involving the L4 vertebral body. Vertebral body heights and alignment are maintained. Posterior annular fissure is noted involving L4-5.
Mild disc space narrowing and disc desiccation are noted involving L5-S1. Conus medullaris terminates normally at L1.

The following levels were evaluated axially:
At L2-3, the posterior margin of the disc, thecal sac and neural foramina are unremarkable.

At L3-4, the posterior margin of the disc, thecal sac and neural foramina are unremarkable.

At L4-5, there is mild broad-based posterior disc bulge. There is no evidence of spinal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing.

At L5-S1, there is mild broad-based posterior disc bulge. There is no evidence of spinal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing.

Impression:
IMPRESSION: Mild lower lumbar spine degenerative changes. No evidence of spinal
stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing at any of the visualized levels.
