Ribs: slight fusiform widening and mottled sclerosis of the left posterior 11th rib. what does this mean? thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means there is an widened area of increased bone growth in that rib. Do you know if that rib has ever been broken before? Is there more information in the x-ray read you can share?
