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 Indication:Chronic lower back pain with intermittent radiculopathy in the left leg. Rule out disc herniation or spinal stenosis.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 fractures or lesions identified.- 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: No significant spinal canal stenosis. 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:Clinical correlation is advised. Consideration for neurosurgical consultation if symptoms persist or worsen. Physical therapy and pain management may be beneficial.Radiologist: Dr. Emily JohnsonDate of Report: 10/21/2023
