This kind of diagnostic exam is, nowadays, seldom performed (TC or MRI are more modern substitutes).
The injected radiopaque dye fills the spaces that are not compressed by a bulging disc: if a herniated disc compresses a medullary structure this hernia appears as darker image, an indentation of the white dye image (see image below)

: the indentation in the column of dye may indeed be shaped something like the indentation in dan's text.A picture paints a thousand words :-)
