What Is The Analysis Based On The Attached MRI Report?

Hi, I was wondering what these results mean? Thanks! FINDINGS: MRI of Brain: A punctate high FLAIR signal area at subcortical right parieto-occipital region is nonspecific. Brain volume and signal characteristics are normal. No evidence for acute intracranial masses or mass-effect is seen. No abnormally enhancing lesions are visualized. The ventricular system is normal without shift of midline structures. No extra-axial fluid collections or hydrocephalus is appreciated. Diffusion weighted imaging is normal, without evidence of acute or subacute infarction. The posterior fossa and midline structures are normal. The brainstem and visualized spinal cord are normal. The visualized orbits and paranasal sinuses are unremarkable for technique. MRI of Cervical Spine: Levoconvex scoliosis of thoracolumbar spine is seen. Otherwise The spinal column shows normal alignment. The bone marrow reveals normal signal. No evidence for any abnormal pre or paravertebral soft tissue mass is identified. The cranio-vertebral junction is unremarkable. The spinal cord is normal in signal and caliber. Posterior annular tear with diffuse bulging of C4-C5 and C5-C6 intervertebral disc is seen with mild central canal stenosis. Mild osteophyte and hydration is seen at T8-T9 level with mild left paracentral spurring. IMPRESSION: 1. A punctate high FLAIR signal area at subcortical right parietal occipital region is nonspecific. Essentially unremarkable MRI of brain without acute intracranial hemorrhage, edema, hydrocephalus or mass effect. 2. Degenerative changes at C4-5 and C5-C6 levels as detailed above. Levoconvex scoliosis of thoracal lumbar spine. Otherwise unremarkable MRI of cervical and thoracic spine.
