OBSERVATION :

The L5 vertebral body is as marked on the film. Please correlate with plain radiographs.

There is loss of water content of the L5-S1 intervertebral disc and slight loss of water content of the rest of the lumbar intervertebral disc except the L4-L5 disc.

There is a postero-central protruded disc with peridiscal osteophytes at the L5-S1 level.
