In continuation to the below query, the LS Spine MRI report says: 1. The lumbo-sacral vertebrea exhibits diffuse hypointense marrow signal on T1W and T2W sequences without appreciation in signal on STIR images. Such appearance is due to red marrow predominance and may be seen in conditions affecting bony metabolism, most common being osteomalacia/osteoporosis or many hematological conditions; 2. L4-5 disc is partially dessicated and exhibits mild broad based posterior disc postrusion with inner annular tear indenting on thecal sac and left exiting L4 nerve root. Mild facet joint arthropathy is seen at this level Vitamin D levels are 30.80; Did Dexa scan which showed result as under: Left forearm shows evidence of Osteopenia with increased fracture risk.
