MRI WHOLE SPINE WITHOUT CONTRAST
Protocol:- Multiplanar MR imaging of the whole spine was carried out using a synergy spine coil on a 1.5 Tesla system. T1W, TSE – T2W sequences
were obtained in appropriate planes.
FINDINGS:
Straightening of cervical spine is seen. Multiple marginal osteophytes arising from cervical,
dorsal & lumbar vertebrae with adjacent mild fatty infiltration with mild multilevel disc
desiccation in cervical, dorsal & lumbar intervertebral discs - suggestive of Spondylotic
changes.
Mild disc bulge with posterior disc osteophytic complex is noted at C5-C6 level causing thecal
sac indentation and mild obliteration of anterior epidural space without significant narrowing
or nerve root compression.
Diffuse disc bulge is noted at L5-S1 level causing mild narrowing of bilateral lateral recesses
however no significant nerve root compression.
Broad based disc bulge is noted at L4-L5 level causing narrowing of bilateral lateral recesses
without significant nerve root compression.
Broad based disc bulge is noted at L3-L4 level without significant narrowing or nerve root
compression.
Bilateral ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is noted at L4-L5 & L5-S1 levels.
Rest of the vertebral bodies, their pedicles and the posterior elements/appendages appear normal.

Rest of the intervertebral discs appear normal in height and display essentially normal signal intensity and
posterior disc contour.
No significant disc protrusion/extrusion seen.
Visualized spinal cord and the cervico-medullary region display essentially normal MR signal. No evidence
of cord signal change/ compression. No evidence of cord expansion/atrophy.
No evidence of any intra-spinal mass seen.
Bony spinal canal is normal in dimension.
Ligamentum flava, pre and the paravertebral soft tissues appear unremarkable.
Cranio-vertebral and atlanto-axial regions display essentially normal MR signal morphology.
Spinal cord shows normal MR morphology and signal characteristics, it ends at L1 vertebra.
Signal from the conus medullaris and nerve roots forming the cauda equina is normal.
Note is made up of STIR hypointensity of subarticular margin of sacrum & ilium of bilateral
sacroiliac joints - suggestive of bilateral chronic sacroiliitis. (Advice: HLA-B27 evaluation).
IMPRESSION: MRI FINDINGS A DECRIBED ABOVE.
Please correlate clinically.

Disclaimer : This report is prepared on the basis of entire series of sequences and not the images provided. (A CD of entire series migh t be requested
if required). This is only a professional opinion based on interpretation of patient images and not the final diagnosis. The findings herein above have to
be correlated with clinical profile and other investigations. In a case of any major discrepancy, please contact our centre i mmediately. Difference
between opinion based on CT findings and that of MRI is radiologically expected and accepted. Non-contrast scans have their own limitations, therefore,
a contrast based study is advised in case of a strong persistent clinical suspicion.
