MRI Lumbosacral Spine without Contrast
Protocol:- Multiplanar MR imaging of the lumbosacral spine was carried out using a synergy spine coil on a 1.5 Tesla system. T1W, TSE –
T2W sequences were obtained in appropriate planes.
RESULTS:
Grade I anterolisthesis of L4 over L5 vertebra is seen with breach in the bilateral pars-interarticularis.
Spondylotic changes are noted in the form of multilevel anterior and lateral osteophytes, ligamentum flavum
thickening, grade III disc desiccation, Schmorl's nodes, reduced vertebral body heights and facetal
arthropathy.
Mild diffuse disc bulge is noted at L5-S1 level causing mild narrowing of bilateral lateral recesses and mild
compression upon bilateral traversing S1 nerve roots.
Diffuse disc bulge with posterocentral protrusion and superior migration of disc material is noted at L4-
L5 level causing narrowing of bilateral lateral recesses and compression upon cauda equina and bilateral
traversing L5 nerve roots. The minimal residual AP canal diameter in the mid-sagittal plane measures ~ 7.8
mm at mid L4 vertebral body level.
Mild diffuse disc bulge is noted at L3-L4 level causing mild narrowing of bilateral lateral recesses and mild
compression upon bilateral traversing L4 nerve roots.
Diffuse disc bulge is noted at L2-L3 level causing narrowing of bilateral lateral recesses and compression
upon bilateral traversing L3 nerve roots.
Mild diffuse disc bulge is noted at L1-L2 level causing mild narrowing of bilateral lateral recesses and closely
abutting bilateral traversing L2 nerve roots.
Spinal cord shows normal MR morphology and signal characteristics, it ends at L1.

Disclaimer : This report is prepared on the basis of entire series of sequences and not the images provided. (A CD of entire series might 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 immediately. 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.
