A member asked:
What does this mean? disc height loss is seen in the mid-thoracic spine with small endplate osteophytes in keeping with spondylosis.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means: that the findings are consistent with minimal arthritic changes. It means nothing else and doesn't indicate that there is a serious issue or even that the individual in question has pain, It is solely a radiographic finding.
