In a report on an MRI of the lumbar spine (in asterisks):
Untersuchungsbefund:
Untersucht wurde die gesamte Lendenwirbelsäule von insgesamt BWK 11 bis zum Sakrum, *wobei als LWK 5 der Wirbelkörper kranial des letzten voll ausgebildeten Bandscheibenraums bezeichnet wird.*
My clumsy take is:
in which lumbar vertebral body 5 is designated with regard to the cranium as the vertebral body of the last fully formed intervertebral disk space.
Any better ideas?

The entire phrase: ...where L5 refers to the vertebral body occupying the position cranially to the last fully formed intervertebral disk space.
disk for US, disc for UK
You can safely use the word "cranially".

my possible suggestion: *whereby the craniovertebral junction (or body) at the last fully developed disc space is designated as LWK 5.*
I hope there will be more precise answers.

Yes, I think you are on the right track - the last disc of the *Wirbelkorper kranial* is at the bottom junction, the way I understand it... but as I said, better to wait for answerers with more expertise! :)

Note from asker:
| Sorry - I am a bit confused how this covers the whole phrase |
| LWK = Lendenwirbelkörper = lumbar vertebral body with 5 being the lowest, close to the sacrum (https://www.spine-health.com/conditions/spine-anatomy/lumbar-vertebrae) whilst the craniovertebral junction is at the top of the spine (https://thejns.org/focus/view/journals/neurosurg-focus/38/4/article-pE2.xml (https://askdrtod.health/2020/05/17/the-craniovertebral-junction-the-most-important-place-you-never-heard-about/) "This is the brain body connection". I hope this makes sense. However, your contribution has helped me think. |

where LWK 5 refers to the cranial vertebrae of the last fully displayed disc space
Can also say intervertebral disc space but this is clear from the context.
