Loss of disc signal is something commonly seen on an MRI report. It means that there has been some degeneration of the disc.
What does loss of signal intensity and disc space height mean
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.

Loss of disc signal in a cervical MRI typically indicates dehydration or degeneration of the intervertebral discs, which can be a sign of conditions such as disc herniation or degenerative disc disease. This loss of signal reflects changes in the disc's water content and structural integrity, potentially leading to pain, reduced mobility, or nerve compression. Clinicians often assess these findings in conjunction with other imaging and clinical symptoms to determine appropriate treatment options.
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.

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.
When you play a compact disc (CD), a laser in the CD player reads the digital data encoded in the disc's pits and lands. This data is converted into an electrical signal, which is then sent to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that transforms it into an analog audio signal. The analog signal is amplified and sent to speakers, which vibrate to produce sound waves that we can hear.
