I dont see anything lytic or
I dont see anything lytic or expansive here but the T11-13 disc spaces look a touch narrowed and the T-L junction and the L-s looks a little mushy but all of this may be positioning. Spinal CT would be the way to go here with those clinical signs. But You may get better disc resolution by coning down focusing on the spine itself with columnated spinal rads under sedation and minor manual retraction as well.
Super that’s what we were
Super that’s what we were thinking. If we get MRI we will share. Thanks
