Disc desiccation refers to the loss of hydration in the intervertebral disc, which can lead to decreased disc height and potential pain. A 3 mm broad posterior central protrusion indicates that the disc material is bulging outwards towards the spinal canal, which may compress nearby nerves. The presence of a high signal annular fissure suggests a tear in the outer layer of the disc, which can be associated with pain and instability. Together, these findings may indicate degenerative changes in the spine that could contribute to discomfort or neurological symptoms.
2.5mm broad based disc protusion
With degenerative disc disease, disc bulging occurs with flattening out of the disc and subsequent spreading out. Typical bulging presents symmetrical, but sometimes a protrusion will develop that is eccentric, ie., asymmetrical bulging. An eccentric protrusion will be to one side, in this case left, sometimes causing neurologic symptoms on that side, sometimes not. A protrusion is less than 3 mm, whereas a herniation exceeds 3 mm.
This depends upon the the site, signs and symptoms caused by the protrusion of the disc. Your spine specialist is the best judge for you.

It might mean "9 cm 8 mm"
This description suggests there is a disc herniation at the level corresponding to the annular tear, pressing on the spinal cord or nerves. The disc material is protruding out of the disc space, causing compression of nearby structures. Symptoms may include back pain, leg pain, or neurologic deficits, and treatment options may include conservative management or surgical intervention.
