M.R.I of the dorsal spine was performed using the following parameters :

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

8 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

The lumbar spine was screened with 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

A few of the upper and mid dorsal intervertebral discs show loss of water content.

The visualized dorsal 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 visualized dorsal spinal cord shows normal signal intensity.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.







On screening the lumbar spine there is evidence of a small posterior disc herniation at the L5-S1 level.

IMPRESSION :

1. A small posterior disc herniation at the L5-S1 level.
