Radiology ReportPatient Name: John DoePatient ID: 123456Date of Birth: 01/15/1975Date of Examination: 10/20/2023Referring Physician: Dr. Jane SmithExamination: MRI of the Lumbar SpineClinical History:The patient presents with chronic lower back pain radiating to the left leg, with intermittent numbness and tingling. Symptoms have persisted for approximately three months, with no significant relief from physical therapy or medication.Technique:MRI of the lumbar spine was performed without contrast. Sagittal T1, T2, and STIR sequences, as well as axial T2-weighted images, were obtained.Findings:- Alignment: Normal lumbar lordosis is maintained. No evidence of spondylolisthesis.- Vertebral Bodies: Normal height and signal intensity of the vertebral bodies. No acute fractures or bone marrow edema.- Intervertebral Discs:- L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L4: No significant disc bulge or herniation.- L4-L5: Mild disc bulge with minimal effacement of the thecal sac. No significant neural foraminal narrowing.- L5-S1: Moderate disc herniation with impingement on the left S1 nerve root.- Spinal Canal and Neural Foramina: The spinal canal is of normal caliber. Mild narrowing of the left neural foramen at L5-S1.- Paraspinal Soft Tissues: Unremarkable.Impression:1. Moderate disc herniation at L5-S1 with impingement on the left S1 nerve root, correlating with the patient's symptoms of left leg radiculopathy.2. Mild disc bulge at L4-L5 without significant neural compromise.Recommendations:Consider referral to a spine specialist for further evaluation and management, including potential interventional procedures or surgical consultation if symptoms persist.Radiologist: Dr. Emily CarterDate of Report: 10/21/2023
