A member asked:

What does scoliosis. bone windows reveal acute aggressive osseous finding. on ct scan report?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Assuming "bone windows" refers to the space between lumbar vertebrae, "acucte osseous finding" on a CT exam may be increased bone formation at the joint spaces in the lower back (lumbar) region, which can cause lower back pain.
