Am 53 yrs. old. Graves Disease, Rheumatoid Arthrtis, Malignant Melanoma, Breast Cancer, Thyroid Cancer.
Pet Scan showed various places of interest.
Before this illness which presented itself in abdomine, and still does I was exercising 6 days a week-2 hours a day,
low fat, no salt, sugar free diet. Have had every test known to man including this one.
What does this test mean?
The height, signal intesity and alignment of the cervical vertebral bodies is within normal limits. A small focus of fat is
noted within the C6 vertebral body. Pannus is noted around the dens but there is no significant compromise of the
spinal canal. Mild disc degeneration is noted at C4-C5. There is no evidence of abnormal enhancement.
The spinal cord appears normal in signal intensity and contour. There is a mild left foraminal stenosis at C2-C3
secondary to left facet hypertrophy. There is no evidence of the disc bulge, protrusion, or spinal stenosis
This was a Sagittal T1 Flair images, sagittal and axial FRFSE T2 weighted images, axial gradient echo images, and
postcontrast sagittal fat-suppressed T1 weighted images and axial non fat suppressed T1 weighted images were
submitted for interpretation of the cervical spine. I received 16cc of Magnevist intravenously.
Thanks,
