    AbstractThe growing demand for structured reporting in radiology requires acceptance and familiarity of standard terms. This article clearly summarizes and illustrates the standard lexicon and classification scheme for degenerative lumbar disk pathology. First-year residents and veteran radiologists will gain/refresh knowledge of the lexicon for standard reporting. We provide an example-based illustrated glossary that contains diagrams and referenced descriptive explanations to illustrate disk lesions in the current standardized lexicon. Collected cross-sectional imaging of the spine from our tertiary care institution provides a clear patient-based representation of elements in the lexicon.Copyright (c) 2010 Mosby, Inc.
