Hello
My husband, 40Y, got an MRI of his cervical neck and I have a question about the Saggittal veiw. The vertebre between disks C3-C6 have lines, looks like cracks, in them with some outer portions looking like chunks removed. He had a cervical MRI 6 years ago that did not have these appearances. The MRI was for neck and arm pain with no relief with treatment. My question is what are the “cracks”? Is this normal? I couldnt find much online except an undiagnosed leukemia. The MRI was without contrast. He has a bulging disk, C5-C6 with bone spurs in this area as well. Cancer is very prevalent in his family, mom, sister, grandmom, aunt. I dont want to mention anything if the cracks and chunks are normal.
Thank you.
