Name of the Patient : Abc XyzPalmn / M / 26 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc XyzBhojraj.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O Kochs spine 1 year ago. On AKT. For follow-up.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the lumbo-sacral spine was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

The dorsal and cervical spines were screened with 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is reduction in height with loss of water content of the D12-L1 disc and slight loss of water content of the L5-S1 disc.

The D12 vertebral body shows focal fatty marrow changes. A small posterior disc bulge with posterior peridiscal osteophytes is noted at the D12-L1 level.

The posterior elements of L5 appear unremarkable. Posterior disc bulges are noted at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.









The lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S2 level.

The antero-posterior dimensions of the lumbar canal at the level of the intervertebral discs are as follows :

16.0 mm at L1-L2
15.0 mm at L2-L3
14.0 mm at L3-L4
13.0 mm at L4-L5
13.0 mm at L5-S1.

Screening, images of the upper dorsal and cervical spines do not reveal any significant feature of note.

IMPRESSION :

As compared to the previous MRI (study no:0000), dated 00.00.00,

1. The D12 vertebral body shows fatty marrow changes suggesting healing.

2. The D12-L1 disc is degenerated.

3. No soft tissue lesion is identified on the present study.
