What does slight progression of degenerative marrow endplate changes at the L5-S1 level mean?
what does slight progression of degenerative marrow in the l5 - s1
What is acromioclavicular joint degenerative change with marrow edema involving clavicle at the joint mean?
I think acromioclavicula joint degenerative change with marrow edema involving clavicle of the joint means ---the AC joint shows signs of artritis with swelling/inflammation of the Clavicle joint itself. The acromio + clavicula are actually two joints that connect for rotating (gliding) function of the shoulder. This is my best guest and I'm no medical professional.
What is Modic-2 degenerative endplate changes?
Modic changes, a common observation in MR imaging, are signal intensity changes in vertebral body marrow, adjacent to the endplates of degenerative discs.Michael T. Modic, MD, professor of radiology and neurology at Case Western in Cleveland, wrote about these changes in the journal Radiology in 1988, and his name has been associated with these changes ever since.Modic changes take 3 main forms:Type I· Decreased signal on T1, and increased signal on T2.· Represents marrow edema.· Associated with an acute process.· Histological examination shows disruption and fissuring of the endplate and vascularized fibrous tissues within the adjacent marrowType II - the most common type· Increased signal on T1, and isointense or slightly hyperintense signal on T2.· Represents fatty degeneration of subchondral marrow.· Associated with a chronic process.· Histological examination shows endplate disruption with yellow marrow replacement in the adjacent vertebral body.Type I changes convert to Type II changes with time, while Type II changes seem to remain stable.Type III· Decreased signal on both T1 and T2.· Correlate with extensive bony sclerosis on plain radiographs.· Histological examination shows dense woven bone; hence, no marrow to produce MRI signal.MODIC CHANGES on MRIT1T2SignificanceTYPE 1¯­EdemaTYPE II­® (or slight­)Fatty DegenerationTYPE III¯¯Bony Sclerosis
What is Heterogeneous marrow signal?
Heterogeneous marrow signal indicates that the bone marrow lacks uniformity. The cause of this may be a fracture, cancer, tumor, or it may just be nothing to worry about at all.

Negative MRI knee
What does marrow signal unremarkable mean on a MRI?
It means nothing to worry about.
What is heterogenous marrow?
Heterogeneous marrow signal indicates that the bone marrow lacks uniformity. The cause of this may be a fracture, cancer, tumor, or it may just be nothing to worry about at all.
What does abnormal bone marrow signal mean?
When an mri shows abnormal bone marrow signals in the hip, there could be a number of causes. The causes vary based on whether the abnormality is in the red or yellow marrow. You will need to consult a physician to discuss the possible reasons for the abnormality.

What does abnormal marrow signal mean?
An abnormal marrow could be caused by an infection or inflammation. It could also mean the presence of an infiltrative disease like leukemia or lymphoma.
What is a trigger point?
The main area of hypersensitivity with the greatest amount of degenerative change.
