Spine pathology is ubiquitous and is encountered by nearly all medical specialties. The anatomy of the spine is complex, but the language used to describe pathology may be even more complex. Many of the common references differ in their nomenclature used to report intervertebral disk herniation. This article summarizes and relates the standard recommendations for reporting terminology in regard to herniation of the intervertebral disk. This standard reporting terminology may be used with CT or MR imaging and is useful to report the location and size of the disk herniation. Recommendations are to report abnormalities in zones on axial images and in levels on the sagittal and coronal images. The diagnostician must also be aware of the various pitfalls associated with disk herniation to avoid the scenario of surgical intervention at the incorrect spinal level.
脊柱病理学无处不在，几乎所有医学专科都会遇到。脊柱的解剖结构复杂，但用于描述病理学的语言可能更为复杂。许多常用参考文献在报告椎间盘突出症时使用的命名法各不相同。本文总结并阐述了关于椎间盘突出症报告术语的标准建议。该标准报告术语可用于CT或MR成像，有助于报告椎间盘突出的位置和大小。建议在轴向图像上报告区域异常，在矢状面和冠状面图像上报告层面异常。诊断医生还必须了解与椎间盘突出相关的各种陷阱，以避免在错误的脊柱节段进行手术干预的情况。
