The 'What I'm Seeing Today' thread. (Page 49/51)

No pictures yet but I spent 42 minutes yesterday inside what was by far the loudest MRI I've been in (and I've been in quite a few. Worst part, they put a set of headphones on me, playing the worst 'country' music imaginable. When they got me out I told the girl "Yall really need to update your music library. I'm old but that really sucked. Not every old person likes to hear that Appalachian hill hollerin..."

Report
EXAM: MR SPINE LUMBAR WO CONT

REASON FOR EXAM: RADICULOPATHY, SITE UNSPECIFIED M54.10

COMPARISON: None.

FINDINGS:
There is grade 1 anterolisthesis at L5-S1 measuring 9 mm. Suspected L5 pars defects. Partial osseous fusion
of the L5-S1 disc space.
There is otherwise mild multilevel disc degeneration with loss of disc space height and T2 signal.
The vertebral body heights are maintained. The marrow signal intensity is normal. There is no evidence of acute fracture.

The conus terminates at the L1 level and is normal in morphology.

Cholelithiasis within the visualized gallbladder. The extraspinal soft tissues otherwise demonstrate no significant findings.

T12-L1: Small diffuse disc bulge. No central canal or foraminal stenosis.

L1-L2: Mild bilateral facet degeneration and small diffuse disc bulge. No central canal or foraminal stenosis.

L2-L3: There is moderate right and moderate left facet degeneration with thickening of ligamentum flavum. Diffuse disc
bulge. Mild central canal narrowing with AP canal diameter of 10 mm. There is mild left-sided foraminal stenosis. No
significant right foraminal stenosis.

L3-L4: Mild bilateral facet degeneration with thickening of the ligament of flavum. Diffuse disc bulge which is asymmetric to
the right. Minimal narrowing of the right neural foramen. No significant left foraminal stenosis. There is mild central canal
narrowing with AP canal diameter of 9 mm, with preferential narrowing of the right lateral recess.

L4-L5: Mild bilateral facet degeneration. Diffuse disc bulge osteophyte complex which is asymmetric to the right. There is
mild narrowing of the right neural foramen. No significant left foraminal stenosis. No significant central canal stenosis.
Interspinous abutment and degeneration is visualized posteriorly.

L5-S1: Grade 1 anterolisthesis as noted above. Mild bilateral facet degeneration. Uncovering of the posterior disc with a
small diffuse disc bulge osteophyte complex. Moderate bilateral foraminal stenosis. No significant central canal stenosis.

IMPRESSION:
1. Grade 1 anterolisthesis at L5-S1 with suspected L5 pars defects. Partial osseous fusion of the L5-S1 disc space.
2. Additional multilevel degenerative changes as described in detail above.

What I'm not seeing.

The landscape due to the Canadian wildfires.

Sorry, man. Believe me, we're not happy about it either.

I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining. Our concern is for our Canadian neighbors. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

It does make for interesting pictures though.

None of that haze here in Central Texas. But, "red sky in morning, sailor take warning" comes to mind

Hey, I'd completely understand if you were complaining!

Wildfires on the west cost of North America have been a huge problem in the last half-dozen or so years. It didn't used to be this way. Something has changed.

And now it appears that these wildfires are occurring all across Canada. This is a very serious problem... not just for those unfortunate people whose houses are in the way of the flames, but also for the millions of people downwind who are forced to breathe this heavily contaminated smoke.

Living right on west coast, you'd think our air here in Vancouver would be fine, blowing in from the vast Pacific Ocean. But wind currents very seldom blow in a straight line from point A to point B. It's more of a gigantic swirl. So we often get smoke blown here from wildfires in the northern or eastern parts of the province... and yes, from Washington State and Oregon in the south. There appears to be no escape for anyone from this humongous problem.

Well, there IS an escape, it just not a very attractive option.
