What Is The Meaning Of "thecal And Neural Foraminal Indentation" On MRI?

I've had an MRI scan and the conclusion is that I have lumbar disc degeneration at L4-L5 and L5-S1 with ventral thecal and neural foraminal indentation, I gather this is do do with the Lumbar vertabrae, and the latter bit to do with the nerves, but what exactly is "thecal and neural foraminal indentation"?
