Question
I apologize in advance, this is probably not your specific area, but you may have an answer.  i have been on about 50 web sites just trying to identify what certain phrases in my recent c/t/l mris mean.  however, i cannot find any site that can explain the phrases, (not specific TERMS, but the phrase such as; modic II endplate degenerative changes asymmetric to the right with posterior lateral and ridging osseous endplate spurring and uncinate spurring.  If you are able to point me in the right direction, that would be wonderful.  Thanks in advance for your review.  Michelle

Answer
Hello Michelle,

I would recommend you ask this of another AllExperts.com member-
perhaps our radiologist colleagues could answer you specifically.

Perhaps one of my fellow Doctors of Chiropractic have a Radiology specialty-

yes chiropractic doctors have specialties just as medical doctors do, see:

If you do not find satisfaction there, then come back here and I will give you my less expert answers.

PLEASE do not hesitate to RE-contact me here at AllExperts.com if you do not find what you want elsewhere on this very board!
