PLAIN MRI WHOLE SPINE

CLINICAL
Pain in neck and backache

EXAMINATION TECHNIQUE
Multi-planar imaging done through whole spine acquiring T1/T2 weighted sagittal, coronal and
axial sequences. MR Myelography was also performed.

FINDINGS:

 LV- 3/4: Circumferential disc bulge is noted causing compression of thecal sac,
bilateral lateral recesses and nerve roots.
 LV- 4/5: Circumferential disc bulge is noted causing compression of thecal sac,
bilateral lateral recesses and nerve roots.
 LS junction: Circumferential disc bulge is noted causing compression of thecal
sac, bilateral lateral recesses and nerve roots more on right.

 Spinal cord appears normal with no evidence of any area of abnormal signal intensity in it.
Artefactual signal is seen hyperintense on sagittal T2WI.
 No evidence of any extra-dural / intra dural mass.
 Normal appearance of vertebral bodies and posterior elements of spine in the scanned
area.
 Ligaments flava and the extra-dural fat appear normal in thickness.
 No para-vertebral mass seen.
 Pre-vertebral soft tissues appear normal.
 No pre-vertebral enlarged lymph nodes are seen.

IMPRESSION:

Multilevel disc bulges with changes relatively marked at LS junction with bilateral
neural tissue compromise more on right
