Degenerative disc disease is a common manifestation in routine imaging of the spine; this finding is partly attributable to physiological aging and partly to a pathological condition, and sometimes this distinction is simply not clear. In this review, we start focusing on disc anatomy and pathophysiology and try to correlate them with radiological aspects. Furthermore, there is a special focus on degenerative disc disease terminology, and, finally, some considerations regarding disc morphology and its specific function, as well as the way in which these aspects change in degenerative disease. Radiologists, clinicians and spine surgeons should be familiar with these aspects since they have an impact on everyday clinical practice.
椎间盘退变疾病是脊柱常规影像学检查中的常见表现；这一发现部分归因于生理老化，部分归因于病理状况，有时这种区分并不明确。在本综述中，我们首先关注椎间盘的解剖结构和病理生理学，并尝试将它们与放射学特征相关联。此外，特别关注椎间盘退变疾病的术语，最后，对椎间盘形态及其特定功能，以及这些方面在退变疾病中如何变化进行一些思考。放射科医生、临床医生和脊柱外科医生应该熟悉这些方面，因为它们会影响日常临床实践。
