MRI lumbar spine
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

Under past surgical history the doctor dictates endometrial ablation lumbar spine both in 1998 and 2003. What is she trying to say?  I do not see any association between an endometrial ablation and the lumbar spine. Any ideas? 
Plain lumbar spine films. See inside.
Subject: Plain lumbar spine films. See inside.

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.
