A member asked:

Results of ct scan?dependent perfusion changes in the lung bases?no evidence for spondylitis significant for patient age are bony bridging.explain???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Showing your age: This just means that there are no inflammatory changes seen on your spine but some bone spurs that are reaching across disc spaces from one bone (vertebra) to another which is a sign of age related or degenerative changes of the spine rather than a spine arthritis or spondylitis
