Explanation

"Moderate nonenhancing bi foraminal broad-based disk bulging" refers to a condition where the cushion-like disks between the bones in the spine are sticking out more than they should in two specific areas (the foramina). This bulging is not increasing when a special dye is used during imaging, which is what "nonenhancing" means. The term "broad-based" indicates that the bulging is happening over a large area of the disk, not just in one spot.
