A member asked:
What is moderate neuroforaminal narrowing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Narrowing of canal: each nerve root exits the spinal canal through its own bony corridor. This corridor is called the foramen and it can also be narrowed or stenotic. It is clinically similar to spinal stenosis and made better with flexion of the spine. The ten moderate has not real meaning. What is moderate to one radiologist may be mild to another- the term is subjective.
