TL;DR
Annular tears and focal disk protrusions on MR images, with or without contrast enhancement, are frequently found in an asymptomatic population.
Abstract
Annular tears and focal disk protrusions on MR images, with or without contrast enhancement, are frequently found in an asymptomatic population. Extruded disk herniation, displacement of nerve root, and interruption of annuloligamentous complex are unusual findings in an asymptomatic population and can be more closely related to patients with LBP or sciatica.
