Subject: MRI ortho/pain management s/l please sm
An MRI scan of the lumbar spine was performed in an open unit. The quality of the scan is poor.
There is a retrolisthesis on the scan at L5-S1 with a s/l shelf of disc material and possible impingement of the right L5 and S1 nerve roots with a left lateral disc osteophyte complex as well.
Has anyone ever heard the term shelf of disc material?
