What does it look like? What do healthy facets look like?

When I look at my MRIs, I can see what's going on with my discs. I see black discs, I can see how much height is left, I can see if there are bulges. But I'm darned if I even know which slides show my facets, let alone, if they look like they're supposed to look.

Can any one help by directing me to a link that shows diseased and healthy facets?

The only pictures I can recall seeing of facets are those that Rosen included in his ADR revision study. But there, Rosen shows facets that have been compressed following ADR, facets that have been over-distracted, and facets that are fractured. Did any one else read that study, and conclude that Rosen was showing us plain vanilla degeneration/arthrosis?
