Radiology Report  
  
Patient Name: John Doe  
Patient ID: 123456  
Date of Birth: 01/15/1975  
Date of Examination: 10/20/2023  
Referring Physician: Dr. Jane Smith  
Examination: MRI of the Lumbar Spine  
  
Clinical Indication:  
Chronic lower back pain with radiculopathy. Rule out disc herniation or spinal stenosis.  
  
Technique:  
MRI of the lumbar spine was performed without contrast using standard T1, T2, and STIR sequences in sagittal and axial planes.  
  
Findings:  
- Alignment: Normal lumbar lordosis is maintained. No evidence of spondylolisthesis.  
- Vertebrae: Vertebral body heights are preserved. No acute fractures or marrow signal abnormalities.  
- Intervertebral Discs:  
  - L1-L2 through L3-L4: Normal disc height and signal intensity. No disc bulge or herniation.  
  - L4-L5: Mild disc bulge with slight effacement of the thecal sac. No significant spinal canal stenosis.  
  - L5-S1: Moderate disc degeneration with a small central disc protrusion mildly indenting the thecal sac. No nerve root impingement.  
- Spinal Canal and Neural Foramina: No significant spinal canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing at any level.  
- Soft Tissues: Paraspinal soft tissues are unremarkable.  
  
Impression:  
1. Mild disc bulge at L4-L5 without significant spinal canal stenosis.  
2. Moderate disc degeneration at L5-S1 with a small central disc protrusion, mildly indenting the thecal sac, but without nerve root impingement.  
3. No acute osseous abnormalities.  
  
Recommendations:  
Clinical correlation is recommended. Consideration for conservative management, including physical therapy, and follow-up imaging if symptoms persist or worsen.
