Examination: MRI OF THE CERVICAL SPINE

CLINICAL HISTORY: 40-year-old female with a history of right sided neck pain

MRI TECHNIQUE: T1, T2 Sagittal. T1 Axial, T2 GRE Axial were obtained on a 0.2 Tesla open MRI.

MRI FINDINGS: The alignment is within normal limits.

C2/3: Disc height and signal are within normal limits. There is no disc contour abnormality, central canal narrowing, or neural foraminal narrowing. The facet joints are within normal limits.

C3/4: Disc height and signal are within normal limits. There is no disc contour abnormality, central canal narrowing, or neural foraminal narrowing. The facet joints are within normal limits.

C4/5: Disc height and signal are within normal limits. There is a small central disc protrusion mildly indenting the anterior CSF spaces producing mild central canal narrowing. There is no significant neural foraminal narrowing. The facet joints are within normal limits.

C5/6: Disc height and signal are within normal limits. There is a small central disc protrusion mildly indenting the anterior CSF spaces producing mild central canal narrowing. There is no significant neural foraminal narrowing. The facet joints are within normal limits.

C6/7: Disc height and signal are within normal limits. There is no disc contour abnormality, central canal narrowing, or neural foraminal narrowing. The facet joints are within normal limits.

C7/T1: Disc height and signal are within normal limits. There is no disc contour abnormality, central canal narrowing, or neural foraminal narrowing. The facet joints are within normal limits.

The marrow signal is normal. There is no evidence of fracture or other osseous pathology. The cerebellar tonsils are normal. The paraspinal soft tissues are unremarkable
