1. C3/4 there is a small central focal disc protrusion n mild left-sided facet joint osteoarthritis
2. C4/5 there is a small central osteochondral bar n minimal left facet joint osteoarthritis
3. C5/6 modern size unconvertebral joint osteophytes are noted bilaterally here is moderate left n mild to moderate right foraminal stenosis. There is a mild left facet joint enlargement
4. C6/7 there is a mild diffuse osteochondral bar with a small left para central focal disc protrusion small unconvertebral joint osteophytes are noted with mild left greater than right foraminal stenosis
5. C7/T1 there us a minimal diffuse disc bulging
6. T1/2 there is a tiny central focal disc protrusion without mass effect upon the cord
7. One or 2 vertebral body hemangiomas are seen within the upper thoracic spine here is a hemangioma within ghetto left fifth rib posteriorly. No soft tissue masses are seen
