Translation= the noted bones look older than expected and the hole the spinal cord goes through appears a bit narrow. The groves the nerves go through appear a bit narrow. All must be assessed by the doc who ordered the study to decide if the findings are important in this case.

Those changes are common findings when an adult has CT or MRI of the spines done. These changes usually do not cause any symptoms.
