Does decreased signal on a lumbar spine MRI report mean a tumor?
Decreased signal on a lumbar spine MRI report can indicate various conditions, including tumors, but it is not definitive on its own. It may also suggest other issues such as degenerative disc disease, infection, or inflammation. A thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional, including correlation with clinical symptoms and possibly further imaging or biopsy, is necessary to determine the underlying cause. Therefore, decreased signal alone does not automatically mean a tumor is present.
