what is discongenic marrow signal changes at C5-C6
That is the question???!!!
Discogenic endplate changes are where the spine's endplates, thick bone points where the discs and the vertebrae make contact, start degenerating and causing spinal issues. They are usually a sign of aging, but can also be indicative of improper lifting, overuse, and other health issues.
endplate spondylosis
The endplate is part of the cartilage of the intervertebral discs. Lipping is bulging of this area of the disc due to degeneration or scoliosis.
Depolarization
What I a anterior endplay osteophyte and what are the treatment method
Discogenic edema is swelling (edema) of the vertebra in the spine (disc's).
what does slight progression of degenerative marrow in the l5 - s1
Marrow edema and mild endplate findings could be inflammatory spondyloarthropathy. This could indicate anything from ankylosing spondylitis (AS)and back pain associated with psoriatic arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

what is the longterm affects of endplate sclerosis
Discogenic sclerosis is the area of wear and tear to a bone in the back. The deterioration of the discs can cause severe back pain.
Chronic superior endplate deformity
The endplate is part of the cartilage of the intervertebral discs. Lipping is bulging of this area of the disc due to degeneration or scoliosis.

Modic changes, a common observation in MR imaging, are signal intensity changes in vertebral body marrow, adjacent to the endplates of degenerative discs.Michael T. Modic, MD, professor of radiology and neurology at Case Western in Cleveland, wrote about these changes in the journal Radiology in 1988, and his name has been associated with these changes ever since.Modic changes take 3 main forms:Type I· Decreased signal on T1, and increased signal on T2.· Represents marrow edema.· Associated with an acute process.· Histological examination shows disruption and fissuring of the endplate and vascularized fibrous tissues within the adjacent marrowType II - the most common type· Increased signal on T1, and isointense or slightly hyperintense signal on T2.· Represents fatty degeneration of subchondral marrow.· Associated with a chronic process.· Histological examination shows endplate disruption with yellow marrow replacement in the adjacent vertebral body.Type I changes convert to Type II changes with time, while Type II changes seem to remain stable.Type III· Decreased signal on both T1 and T2.· Correlate with extensive bony sclerosis on plain radiographs.· Histological examination shows dense woven bone; hence, no marrow to produce MRI signal.MODIC CHANGES on MRIT1T2SignificanceTYPE 1¯­EdemaTYPE II­® (or slight­)Fatty DegenerationTYPE III¯¯Bony Sclerosis
