Hi. The doc who ordered the MRI should be helping you understand what all this means. That being said, though, I understand wanting to understand as much as you can maybe faster than the doctor can give you info.

Dessicated = degraded, degenerated - probably referring to a lumbar disk. I don't know what a bright annulus means, other than usually on an MRI (depends on the type) a bright white color indicates fluid, which in a disk would be good and the opposite of a dessicated disk, which would probably appear black.

Is this what you were asking?
