Osteophytes on MRIs
Hey, all!
This is just a silly question, but when my evil neuro did imaging of my lumbar and thoracic spine, I saw on the report that I have a few osteophytes , one is large and prominent (I have osteoarthritis all over my spine) in the area imaged. Is it possible for a bony protrusion like that to obscure a lesion on my spinal cord, do you think?
Just wondering in Detroit*
