Modic type 2 changes refer to a specific type of bone marrow edema seen on MRI, typically associated with degenerative disc disease. These changes indicate an increase in fatty marrow and are often found in the vertebrae adjacent to degenerated intervertebral discs. While Modic type 2 changes can be asymptomatic, they are sometimes linked to chronic low Back pain. Their clinical significance is still debated, and they may reflect underlying disc degeneration rather than direct pain causation.
Modic type 2 endplate changes refer to alterations in the vertebral endplates seen on MRI, characterized by increased signal intensity on T1-weighted images and decreased signal on T2-weighted images. These changes typically indicate fatty degeneration of the bone marrow and are often associated with chronic low back pain and degenerative disc disease. At the L2-L3 level, such changes may signify underlying disc degeneration or instability in that region of the spine. They can be part of the broader spectrum of spinal degeneration commonly observed in aging or in individuals with a history of back pain.
1. It's not a shell. 2. It's how his spine looks.
Yes! Think of it this way ur spine is the length of the whole upper body...your spine goes from neck to coccyx! Your thigh is only 1/2 or 1/4 of your spine.

There are four natural curvatures of the spine.
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.
