Abstract

This article reviews the terminology used to describe morphological alterations in the intervertebral discs. Radiologists must be able to communicate information about the type, location, and severity of these alterations to medical and surgical clinicians. It is crucial to use simple, standard, and unified terminology to ensure comprehension not only among radiologists but also with professionals from the different specialties for whom the radiology reports are written (fundamentally traumatologists and neurosurgeons). This terminology will help to ensure a more accurate diagnosis and better patient management.

Resumen

El objetivo de este artículo es revisar la terminología que describe las alteraciones morfológicas del disco intervertebral para lograr unificar entre radiólogos y especialistas médico-quirúrgicos el tipo, la localización y la gravedad de dichas alteraciones. Es crucial emplear una terminología simplificada, estandarizada y unificada, para que exista un adecuado entendimiento no solamente entre los especialistas en Radiodiagnóstico, sino también con las distintas especialidades a las que van dirigidos los informes radiológicos (Traumatología y Neurocirugía fundamentalmente). Esta terminología ayudará a hacer un diagnóstico más preciso y a un mejor manejo del paciente.
