The wording suggests they are comparing older films taken at some point in the past with the new films. It says there is no change in the appearance of the structures between the two times the films were taken. What that means for the patient must be interpreted by the treating doc who knows all the facts of the case.

Your spine is not perfectly straight (which is normal and common) and there are mild arthritic-type changes. Nothing has changed compared to prior exams. Nothing is seen that would explain your rib pain.
