What is significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 with minor diffuse disc bulge?
Significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 is a nerve impingement which may be painful or cause loss of feeling. A minor diffuse disc bulge is a minor bulge of the affected disc.
What is loss of internal disc signal?
Disc degeneration is a normal part of aging, and usually is not a problem. However, DDD can cause discs to lose height and become stiff.

What does this mean from an MRI L5 S1 disc space is mildly narrowed and the disc is desiccated reactive signal changes in the adjacent vertebral bone marrow?
If you had an MRI and have a mildly narrowed disc space between L5 S1, it sounds like you have a slightly herniated disc. Whenever your doctor gives you a diagnosis, it is best to ask as many questions as possible such as treatment options, pain management, etc.
What is disc space narrowing with vacuum disc phenomena?
The presence of linear radiolucency in the disk space result in space narrowing with vacuum disc. It is associated with degenerative disk disease.
What is disc space?
Disc space is the amount of computer storage space on random-access memory devices, such as on a hard drive, floppy or USB flash drive. Free up disc space by running a disc clean-up, removing unused applications, and removing duplicate files.

What is a Disc Doctor used for?
The Disc Doctor program is used to clean up and free space on a personal computer's hard disc. It also tells the user how much free space they have on the hard disc.
What does loss of disc signal at L4-L5 and L5-S1 mean?

Is a bulging Disc a herniated disc?
No. A bulging disc is a disc that has mildly or severely (depending on what the diagnostics prove) buldged from the intervertebral space. This means that the nucleus inside the disc is intact and still within the disc space, but the disc itself has bulged outward. A herniated disc is the same thing as a ruptured disc in which case the nucleus has exited the intervertebral space and the two vetrebrae are essentially "bone on bone". A bulging disc occurs more often as we age or as repetitive activities weaken the the disc. Herniated discs are more often specifically related to trauma/injury sustained and are more acute (sudden) in onset.
Left lateral recess?
The left lateral recess refers to a condition whereby the narrowing reduces the available space within the exit doorway of the spinal canal. The left lateral recess may be caused by the arthritic overgrowth of the facet joints of the degeneration of the disc with the loss of the disc height.
