CT Lumbar

FINDINGS: The L5 vertebral body demonstrates a heterogenous incrased T2/STIR signal and decreased T1 signal. There is approximately 50% loss of height, consistent with a compression fracture, better evaluated on recent CT. There appears to be retropulsion of fracture fragments into the canal causing moderate central canal stenosis and mild neuriforaminal narrowing on the right. The vertebral bodies are normally aligned. The remaining vertebral body heights and disc spaces are well preserved. The signal intensity from the remaining vertebral body bone marrow and spinal cord is normal. The conus medullaris ends at a normal level. No evidence for spinal cord injury. Diffuse osteopenia.
