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

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.

I often type IQ scores in which the patient ends up having low-average intelligence or above-average intelligence and always hyphenate these because they ARE compound adjectives ("above" modifies "average"), used TOGETHER to modify "intelligence," whereas, presumably, "small" and "moderate," as stated, are one OR the other (or even somewhere in between)!
I know, it's exhausting.
