Title
MRI of the Cervical Spine Without Intravenous Contrast
Clinical History
Patient-specific — populated from user input at report time. Shows "None" if not provided.
Comparison
No prior studies available for comparison.
Technique
Multi-planar MRI of the cervical spine was performed.
Findings
Systematic evaluation of the cervical spine demonstrates the following:
Cervical Lordosis and Alignment:
The cervical lordotic curvature is preserved. Vertebral body heights and alignment are maintained without acute fracture or subluxation.
Atlanto-Occipital and Atlanto-Axial Articulations:
The atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial articulations are maintained without abnormality.
Vertebral Bodies and Osseous Structures:
No suspicious expansile or destructive osseous lesions are identified. Vertebral body signal intensity is normal.
Spinal Cord:
The signal intensity of the spinal cord is within normal limits. No intramedullary abnormality is identified.
Epidural Space:
No epidural collection is identified.
Intervertebral Disks - General:
The intervertebral disk heights are maintained.
Disk Level C2-C3:
No significant disk bulge, herniation, or evidence for central canal or foraminal stenosis.
Disk Level C3-C4:
No significant disk bulge, herniation, or evidence for central canal or foraminal stenosis.
Disk Level C4-C5:
No significant disk bulge, herniation, or evidence for central canal or foraminal stenosis.
Disk Level C5-C6:
No significant disk bulge, herniation, or evidence for central canal or foraminal stenosis.
Disk Level C6-C7:
No significant disk bulge, herniation, or evidence for central canal or foraminal stenosis.
Disk Level C7-T1:
No significant disk bulge, herniation, or evidence for central canal or foraminal stenosis.
Facet Joints:
The facet joints are unremarkable.
Paravertebral Soft Tissues:
The paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
Ligamentous Structures:
The ligamentous structures are intact.
Impression
1. No acute fracture or spondylolisthesis.
2. Multilevel degenerative changes of the cervical spine.
