hi littlebit5505 sorry to hear of your health troubles.



"There is mild dextrocurvature of the lumbar spine. The disc spaces are preserved. The marrow signal is within normal limits. The conus medullaris is appropriately situated at the L1 level."

Dextrocurveture this indicates you have scoliosis which is a sideways curvature of the spine, dextro indicates the curve bends to the right. The conus medullaris is where the spinal cord turns into many different branches in your case its normal.



"Axial Levels: The axial levels from T12-L1 through L5-S1 are unremarkable. No siginificant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing detected."


This is good the spinal canal and the channels where the nerve roots exit the vertebral column from are open and there is no compression of the nerves showing on the MRI in the lumbar area.


"There is significant motion artifact, which degrades the cervical spine images. There is straightening of the cervical spine. There is mild disc desiccation at several levels. The disc spaces appear to be preserved. The spinal cord cannot be adequately assessed regarding morphology and signal characteristics."



Sounds like you may have moved around a bit while the MRI was being taken, and this has affected the quality of the images. Straightening of the cervical spine means the normal curve that is in peoples necks that is convex to the front is absent in your neck. disc desiccation means that there is alack of moisture in your disks.



Axial Levels:
C2-C3 and C3-C4: Normal
C4-C5: There appears to be a broad-based disc osteophyte complex with a slightly more conspicuous left lateral component. This results in moderate narrowing of the spinal canal with effacement of the anterior and posterior portions of the thecal sac to the left of midline. The AP dimension of the spinal canal measures approximately 7 mm off midline to the left and 8 mm off midline to the right. No significant neural foraminal narrowing detected.
C5-C6: Negative
C6-C7: Negative
C7-T1: Negative


At C4-C5 in your neck there is an osteophyte complex which is an abnormal growth of bony spurs around the margin of the disc its slightly worse on the left its causing a narrowing of the spinal canal, and its wearing away the thecal sac which is one of the membranes that surrounds the spinal cord. the neural foramina are the holes in the vertebra that the nerves coarse out of.


"MRI Of The Thoracic Spine Without Contrast:
Findings: There is a mild levocrvature of the thoracuc spine. The marrow signal is unremarkable. The disc spaces are preserved. The spinal cord demonstrates normal morphology an signal characteristics. The axial levels from C7 through L1 are unremarkable. No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing detected."


The only thing wrong with your Thoracic spine is a levocurvature, which is scoliosis that curves to the left.


good luck littlebit5505
