The terminology for abnormalities of the lumbar disk has always been a source of confusion. Recent advances in pathological studies have inspired the authors to propose a simple classification of common disk anomalies suitable not only for diagnostic radiologists but also for referring clinicians. Although the diagnosis of a few pathological entities will only be possible with specific imaging techniques, the proposed classification is appropriate for reporting observations from plain films, conventional tomograms, myelograms, discograms, computed tomography scans and magnetic resonance images. All lumbar disks can thus be classified into one or more of the following categories: normal, aging, scarred, ruptured and herniated. A disk herniation is defined as a localized exit of disk material beyond the limits of the original intervertebral space. |
