Likely is normal.: The spinal cord normally terminates at t12-l1 level, with spinal roots continuing more inferiorly. The spine curvature may be normal for this patient.

Doctor speak: We need to sound smart. It basically means a bit of a scoliosis i the lower spine with the apex of the curve pointed to the left. The spinal cord is ending at the bottom of the last thoracic vertebrae, which isn't to far from normal. Speak to your doctor and they can likely go over the actual films with you and show you what they mean.
