MRI results have effacement ventral cerebrospinal fluid space
Small points of bone sticking out from the vertebra toward the front. Osteophytes are an X ray finding association with arthritis in the spine as we age or have had an old trauma.
That depends on whether you mean back or spine. The middle spine is the thoracic region. Above it is the cervical, below the lumbar. Thoracic might also speak of the general middle region of the back.
Hypolordosis means a reversal of the normal spinal curvature, and cervical refers to the neck, so cervical hypolordosis would mean the neck is not curved properly. The human spine in profile from the side looks somewhat like an S. This reversal can be due to trauma, or more commonly, due to degenerative conditions, such as aging or arthritic changes.
I'm assuming you mean the spine - The highest 7 vertebrae make up the cervical spine (or C spine) = the neck The next 12 vertebrae (where your ribs attach) make up the thoracic spine (or T spine) - this can also be referred to as the dorsal spine The next 5 vertebrae down make up the lumbar spine (or L spine) = the lower back And the sacrum is the very bottom of the spine made of 5 fused vertebrae.
effacement The thinning and shortening of the cervix. Measured in percentages from 0 - 100%
