Spondylotic ridging found on MRI is when there is calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, which runs behind the bodies of vertebrae caudal to cephlad. Neural foramina are the openings in the spinal column where the spinal nerves exit to the periphery.

Conus medullaris is the lower end of the spinal cord. L1 is level 1 of the lumbar vertebral. T12 refers to the 12 thoracic pairs. It shows the position at the spinal cord where the conus medullaris ends.
chronic lacunar infarct
The lowest thoracic and uppermost lumbar vertebrae are broken into multiple pieces.
This MRI finding indicates enlargement of the endplates in the t11-t12 and t12-L1 spinal segments, as well as hypertrophy in the right lateral recess and subarticular zone at the L1-L2 level. This can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal and potential compression of nearby nerves, potentially causing symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Further evaluation and treatment may be needed depending on the severity of symptoms.
Conus medullaris is the lower end of the spinal cord. L1 is level 1 of the lumbar vertebral. T12 refers to the 12 thoracic pairs. It shows the position at the spinal cord where the conus medullaris ends.
T12 is the 12th thoracic vertebra in the spine, located in the mid to lower back region. It is below T11 and above L1.
in medical terms what does ridging mean
The conus medullaris is the bottom part of the spinal cord. It normally ends at T12 or L1, so you are normal. Below that level, the spinal canal contains a bundle of loose nerves called the cauda equina.
