What does abnormal signal intensity posteriorly in the midline at c2-superior endplate c3. mild cord signal heterogeneity postiorly also at c5-6 in po?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: There is a certain "signal" or color that structures have as seen on an MRI. When the color is different than expected, they are described as abnormal. Just one possible cause of abnormal signal at C3 would be if you had a small fracture there, for example. I would not hesitate to discuss directly with your doctor.
