Results and Interpretations
| Finding / Observation | Description | General Interpretation / Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Normal disc | Uniform height & hydration | No action needed |
| Bulging disc | Disc extends beyond vertebrae | Monitor or physiotherapy |
| Herniated disc | Disc material extrudes | May need injection/surgery |
| Nerve root compression | Dark nerve root displaced | Correlates with symptoms |
| Vertebral Bodies | Bone marrow signal and endplate changes (Modic types I–III). | May indicate inflammation (Type I), chronic degeneration (Type II), or sclerosis (Type III). Reflects chronicity and nature of changes. |
| Facet Joints | Evaluated for hypertrophy, degeneration, or joint fluid. | Normal or facet arthropathy. A common source of axial back pain and can contribute to spinal stenosis. |
| Ligaments (e.g., ligamentum flavum) | Thickness and signal characteristics. | Normal or hypertrophied. Ligamentum flavum thickening can contribute to central canal narrowing. |
| Incidental Findings | Other findings such as renal cysts, hemangiomas, or uterine fibroids visible on the scan. | May be clinically irrelevant or require further evaluation. Significance depends on context and location. |
