English term or phrase: indentation of the spinal canal

Disorder: L5 nerve root irritation, secondary to L4-L5 disc herniation.
X-ray findings: Lumbosacral spine may be normal or show early degenerative changes. Myelogram shows an indentation of the spinal canal anterolaterally at the L4-L5 disc.

He encontrado varias acepciones para la palabra "indentation" (depresión, hendidura, fisura, muesca...), pero quisiera saber cuál es el término exacto en este contexto.
Muchas gracias por su ayuda!
