What is significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 with minor diffuse disc bulge?

What is a annular disc bulge and a concentric disc bulge?
You have an intervertebral disc in between your vertebrae. It has got outer tough annulus fibrosus and inner soft nucleus pulposus. usually the nucleus pulposus escapes the disc. But at times the annular disc may bulge out. Osteophytes are seen due to degenerative changes in the upper and lower borders of your vertebrae. Disc means probably all over the edge.
What does it mean when it says mild diffuse disc bulge effacing the thecal sac with minimal narrowing of the neuro foramina in an MRI?
In order to best help translate, lets break this sentence down into smaller parts to explain it:A "diffuse disc bulge" refers to one of the discs in your spine. The discs separate the bones of your spine, called vertebrae, and provide cushion support as well as motion to the vertebrae. A diffuse bulge of one of these discs refers to the disc bulging out from all sides (right, left, front, and back), except not the top or bottom."effacing the thecal sac" means that that diffuse disc bulge is contacting the thecal sac such that being able to see that sac is obscured by the diffuse disc bulge. Thecal sac refers to the the "sac" which is a membrane (called dura mater) that contains the spinal cord and cerebrospinal fluid. All this statement implies is that the disc bulge is contacting the membrane that contains the spinal cord."minimal narrowing of the neuro foramina" - probably you meant neural foramina. At each level in the spine where there is a disc, right and left nerve roots come out to innervate tissues in the body. The holes that they come out are called neural foramina. This statement means that the size, or diameter, of those holes has been minimally narrowed by this diffuse disc bulge.
What does MRI mean if Minimal diffuse disc bulge present with moderate to severe fact disease?
The Minimal diffuse disc bulge referes to the shock absorbing "disc" that sits between the vertebra. it means that the disc is sticking out past what is normal limit of the vertebra, but not enough to be affecting surrounding structures such as the nerve roots. Moderates to severe "facet" disease refers to likely degenerative changes like arthritis on the bony facets which are part of the vertebra
