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.
