What is a broad based disk buldge at L5-S1 mean?
What does Small broad based disc bulges at L12 L45 mean?
Disc bulges are characterized as focal or broad based. Focal means that less than 90 degrees of the disc is protruding outside of the radius of the vertebrae. Broad based means that 90 to 180 degrees of the disc are protruding outside of the vertebrae. The protruding discs are located in the lumbar region.
Disc bulge at the level of l4-5 with impingement on thecal sac?
A disc bulge at the L4-L5 level means that the disc between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae is protruding out of place. This can cause compression on the thecal sac, which contains nerve roots and spinal fluid. Symptoms can include pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgery.
What does Minimal bulge at l5-s1 mean?
means that a disc in your lower back is slightly deformed.
What does mild posterior disc bulge at T11-12 without neural structure compromise mean?
It means the disc bulge is not big enough to press on the spinal canal. It could also mean the nerves exiting theforamina are not beingencroachedupon. Posterior means behind.
What does it mean when the report says C7 - T1 minimal annular bulge?

What does in mean if C6-C7 broad central disc bulge contacts the anterior spinal cord and could contribute to C7 reticula?
A C6-C7 broad central disc bulge that contacts the anterior spinal cord indicates that the intervertebral disc at this level is protruding into the spinal canal, potentially compressing the spinal cord itself. This contact may lead to symptoms such as pain, weakness, or sensory changes in the upper extremities due to the involvement of the C7 nerve root or reticular formation. It suggests a need for further evaluation and possible treatment to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
WHAT DOES A BROAD BASE DISC BULGES AT THE C3-C4 THROUGH C5-C6 LEVELS THAT RESULT IN MILD CENTRAL STENOSIS MEAN?
A broad-based disc bulge at the C3-C4 and C5-C6 levels refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc is protruding outward, affecting a wide area rather than a focal point. This bulge can encroach on the spinal canal, leading to mild central stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal canal that may compress the spinal cord or nerve roots. While mild, this condition can potentially cause neck pain, stiffness, or neurological symptoms depending on the extent of the compression. Monitoring and, in some cases, conservative treatment may be recommended to manage symptoms.
Was does moderate desiccated disc bulge mean?
A moderate desiccated disc bulge refers to a condition in which the intervertebral disc has lost some of its moisture (desiccation) and has bulged outward beyond its normal boundary. This can occur due to aging or degeneration and may put pressure on nearby nerves or the spinal cord. While it can sometimes be asymptomatic, it may also lead to pain or discomfort in the back or neck, depending on its location. Treatment options vary based on symptoms and severity.

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
What does it mean when you have disk height loss with disk desiccation and a broad-based annular disk bulge with a fissure within the annulus?
Disc dessication is loss of water content of disc that occurs as a normal part of the aging process, but also occur with pathologic degeneration of discs. This leads to loss of the discs height and makes it a less effective "cushion" between the bones, since it also more stiff. A bulging annulus means the edge of the disc adjacent to the spine (usually) has "bulged" posteriorly and may dent or impinge upon the spinal sac, the nerve roots, or the spinal cord. An annular fissure is a crack or tear or the disc annulus (the outer coating of the disc, as opposed to the center part (nucleus)
