Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Klmn / M / 24 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzesai.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorso-lumbar Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache and weight loss.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the dorso-lumbar 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.
OBSERVATION :
Schmorls nodes are noted in the lower dorsal region. Few mid dorsal intervertebral discs show loss of water content and appear reduced in height.
The visualized dorso-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 visualized lower dorsal spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level and thecal sac terminates at the S1 level.
The lumbo-sacral spine was screened with 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images which shows small posterior disc bulges at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.
IMPRESSION :
No significant abnormality is detected on this study.
