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

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.
