Subject: MRI lumbar spine
Once again, I am trying to make sense of the hospital radiology reports. Noncontrast MRI of lumbar spine shows a clonus ending posterior to L1. It does not sound right to me. clonus does not make sense but I do not type much radiology. Anyone have a clue what else it could be? It does sound like he is saying clonus.??? Thanks

Little rule I learned a long time ago:
1. Plain as in "plain Jane", no make up, not dressed up and no where to go. So plain x-rays are those who are not augmented by any special dye or anything else such an arthrogram or MRI.
2. Plane as in a space between. A plane for dissection - a place or space to cut into.

Subject: The stocking part would refer to
the lower extremities, so if they are just talking about upper extremities they might just stay glove distribution. Some books show "stocking glove distribution," but I always type it "stocking-glove distribution," because it seems more logical. Otherwise it seems like the word "and" is missing to me. Then again, hyphens are being dropped all over the place, LOL.

Buckwalter retractor and Buchwalter retractor (rather than the correct Bookwalter?). There were several others, but I can't recall them now. I gave my book away about 15 years ago, and strictly use Stedman's Med/Surg Equipment words, Stedman's Surgery words, and Vera Pyle's latest. I think what you're seeing is an entry before Hasson was verified. The same thing happened with Steffee/Steffe and Veress/Verress. If there were two spellings for Hasson/Hassan, I would think Vera's book would clarify. Time will tell, though. Ya never know in this business.
