Name of the Patient : Abc XyzDhlmn / F / 43 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzthak.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervico-dorsal Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O backache with pain radiating to BLE since 3 months which has increased since 2 months.
Alleged H/O fall prior to this.
C/O occasional giddiness since 3 months.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the cervico-dorsal 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 lumbar spine was screened with 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

The brain was scanned with 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images and 5 mm thick T2 Weighted axial images.

OBSERVATION :

The visualized cervico-dorsal vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs show normal signal intensity.

The visualized cervico-dorsal spinal cord appears slightly smaller in diameter, without change in signal intensity. There is no cord compression.

The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
Scan-00004


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

Screening images of the lumbar spine do not reveal any significant feature of note.

Screening images of the brain reveal no abnormal signal in the brain parenchyma. The ventricular system is unremarkable. There is no midline shift.

The pituitary gland shows a convex superior margin.

IMPRESSION :

1. Slightly small calibre of the visualized cervico-dorsal spinal cord without change in the signal intensity, (of ? etiology/? significance).

2. No other significant abnormality is detected on this study.
