Can someone tell me what my radiology report means?

FINDINGS: There is slight reversal of midcervical lordosis with preservation of vertebral body height and anteroposterior alignment at all levels. Disc space height is preserved throughout the cervical region. No focal aggressive marrow- containing lesions are identified. The cervical cord is of normal caliber and signal appearing of normal caliber and signal characteristics at all levels. Spondylosis is present at the following levels: C2-3: Minimal uncovertebral joint hypertrophy and facet arthropathy without frank canal or foraminal stenosis bilaterally.

C3-4: Trace uncovertebral joint hypertrophy and facet arthropathy without canal or foraminal stenosis. C4-5: Minimal facet arthropathy and trace uncovertebral joint hypertrophy without canal or foraminal stenosis. C5-6: Minimal uncovertebral joint hypertrophy and facet arthropathy without canal or foraminal stenosis. C6-7: Minimal facet arthropathy with a 2 mm focal left central disc extrusion with minimal cephalad and caudal extension to the disc space level on sagittal T2 series 3 image 6 abutting the ventral cord and contributing to mild left parasagittal canal stenosis without cord signal alteration. The foramina appear patent bilaterally. C7-T1: Minimal facet arthropathy without canal or foraminal stenosis. Prevertebral and paravertebral soft tissues appear within the range of normal on all sequences. IMPRESSION: Slight reversal of cervical lordosis with minimal cervical spondylosis primarily at C6-7 where there is a 2 mm anteroposterior dimension disc extrusion with slight cephalad and caudal migration contributing to only minimal left parasagittal canal stenosis without cord signal alteration or other complicating features. The spinal canal and foramina at the remaining levels appear widely patent.

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something?
