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 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 is disc space?

What is meant by diffuse bulge of c5-6 and c6-7 iv disc along with posterior marginal osteophytes causing ventral thecal sac indentation?
These results on an MRI report mean a few different things. First is that there is generalized bulging of the lower discs of the neck. Second is that there bone spurs which have grown which are putting pressure on the thecal sac which can cause symptoms severe enough to require surgery in some cases.

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.
