MRI LUMBO-SACRAL SPINE
High resolution MR scanning of the lumbosacral spine was performed on 1.5 Tesla Multiva (16 channel) MR
scanner to obtain the following sequences: T1 TSE and T2 TSE sequences in the sagittal and axial planes. STIR
long TE sequence in the sagittal plane.
There is mild scoliosis is seen with convexity towards left side. Transitional vertebrae are seen at
lumbosacral spine. Vertebra is normal in height & alignment. Posterior elements appear normal in
signal intensity. Mild spondylotic changes are seen in the lumbar vertebrae in the form of marginal
small osteophytes and type II endplate changes noted at multiple levels.
Disc dessication changes are noted at L4-5 & L5-S1 levels.
Asymmetric disc bulge with right propensity is seen at L1-L2 level along indenting the anterior thecal
sac without neural foraminal stenosis. AP dimension of spinal canal is 14.1 mm.
Diffuse disc bulge is noted at L4-5 level along with hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum & facet joints
causing severe central canal stenosis (AP dimension 6.9 mm) and compression over traversing
cauda equina nerve roots and moderate lateral recess and bilateral neural foraminal stenosis with
exiting nerve root compression (R>L).
Diffuse disc bulge with broad based posterior central and paracentral disc protrusion is noted at
L5-S1 level causing thecal indentation and causing moderate lateral recess and bilateral neural
foraminal stenosis with associated hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum & facet joints and mild central
canal stenosis (AP dimension 8.3 mm).
No disc bulges / disc herniations are seen in any other levels.
Bilateral facetal arthropathies are noted at multiple levels in lower lumbar spine.
Visualized spinal cord appears normal and ends at D12-L1 level.
Pre & paravertebral soft tissue appear normal.

Screening through the S.I. joints does not reveal any obvious abnormality.
