L5 Nerve Sign

Has anyone heard of this: L5 Nerve Sign or Chapman's Sign? Its apparently an MRI finding that is common but often overlooked. Does anyone know where I can find out more about this?

From my understanding, they are two totally separate indicators.

The L5 Nerve sign relates to an abnormal lumbar nerve whereas the Chapman's sign is a signal on an ECG indicating a specific cardiac issue.
