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

There is diffuse osteopenia. Patient is status-post posterior fusion of L3-L4. Hardware in good position. There is mild degenerative disc disease with small anterior osteophyte formation in L2-L5 with diminished L4-L5 disc space. Alignment of vertebral bodies is preserved. No ____ is seen.
The blank sounds like, and I may be WAY OFF, sclenostasis...there is definitely the stasis and pretty sure the scle part...Please help!!!

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.

The patient has a tiny lung nodule that the doctor is almost certain is benign. The patient is insisting on following it with regular CTs. He feels the risk of the radiation is higher than the risk of malignancy of the nodule. I've never seen the word touch used that way before. Thanks.
