OBSERVATION :

There is sacralization of the L5 vertebra which is as marked on the film.

A small posterior disc bulge is seen at the L4-L5 level with anterior indentation of the thecal sac.

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