Exclamation still confused...PLEASE HELP!

My MRI Cervical Spine with and without contrast Impression

1.Status post cervical disc replacement at the c-5-6 level with marked magnetic susceptibility artifact emanating from the metallic artificial disc. This precludes adequate assessment of the underlying spinal canal, neural foramina and opposing vertebral bodies.
2.early disc desiccation at the C2-3,C3-4,C4-5, and C6-7 levels.
3.Loss of the lordotic curvature.

CT of the Cervical Spine with Contrast

1.loss of lordotic curvature.
2.Status post cervical disc replacement at the c5-6 level without evidence of artificial migration. The artificial endplates appear to be well incorporated into the opposing vertebral bodies and in satisfactory alignment and position.
3.Incidentally noted is subtle pleuroparenchymal scarring and emphysematous changes in the bilateral lung apices, particularly on the right.


WHAT DOES ALL THAT MEAN..COULD SOMEONE TRANSLATE THE IMAGE RESULTS IN ENGLISH FOR ME PLEASE...HELP!
