Please Help Translate My Mri Results
Posted: 02-12-07 22:52pm

I had an mri of the cervical and thorasic, although the doctor did go through the results with me it seemed like a lot to take in at one time. I'm still concerned as I don't understan my results fully.

mri of cervical without contrast....

there is a 0.7cm non-specific marrow change seen in the t2 body. This demonstrates increased t2 signal without definite increased t1 signal. There is no edema in the surrounding bone.

There is degeneratiive desiccation of the c2-3, c4-5 and c5-6 disc spaces with mild disc space narrowing predominatly at c5-6.

At c5-6, there is a disc bulge leading to difuse impression upon the ventral sac, there is no canal or foraminal stenosis.

C6-t read the same as above

impression:

3. Loss of cervical lordosis, this may be positional or a reflection of muscular spasm.

4. There is a non-specific 0.7 cm lesion of the t2 vertebral body. The imaging characteristics are generally benign. Follow up is recommended to ensure stability or correlation with bone scan to exclude active process would be recommended.


mri of thorasic without contrast:

there is mild dextroscolliosis of the dorsal spine.

At t6-7, there is a small to moderate sized extruded right paracentral disc herniation. This leads to impression pon the right ventral sac and abuts the right ventral cord. There is no central stenosis.

At t8-9, there is a small left paracentral disc herniation leading to focal impression upon the left ventral sac and mild impression upon the left ventral cord. There is no centralstenosis.

At t10-11, there is a broad-based disc herniation largest centrally leading to diffuse impression upon the ventral sac, greatest centrally. There is no canal or foraminal stenosis.

At t11-12 =, there is a left paracentral disc herniation leading to impression upon the left ventral sac. There is no affect upon the cord. There is a cephalad migration of the disc material to the lower t11 level also to the left midline.

impression:

1. There is a 2 x 3 cm mass, possibly a cyst in the area of the right lobe of the thyroid

2. Mild dextroscoliosis

iv'e neglected to include the entire report as some of it is quite obvious, as for the above ... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
