What Does The Following MRI Result Mean? -

Findings: i got my MRI results back and have had 1 spinal injection since. i have not been back to the doctor yet and will next week, in the mean time trying to figure out what the MRI means just on the 1st line is confusing. It says No cervical malalignment, unremarkable cervical medullary junction and cervical cord. Ther is 1.3 cm hemagioma t the T2 vertebra with increased T1 and T2 signals. no evidence of an acute cericval fracture or a suspicious osseous lesion. Impression: thoracic degenerative changes, There is T8-T9 lef paracentral disc extrusion, extending up to 4mm posteriorly and 5 mm superiorly with associated lef lateral resecc narrowing. I would like to know if i am seeing the right new doctor and just started with and understand a little of what this little i wrote means. there are many more on the report just like these? thank you, Lisa

Hi Lisa, MRI is a oversensitive investigation. Please tell us about symptoms you have for which MRI was advised. As such interpreting only MRI findings is pointless. Thank you.
