A member asked:
What is the significance of osseous density adjacent to rib in chest xray results? should i have ct for clarification?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osseous density: Most likely it's a benign bone island adjacent to a rib, however, this is not universal and depends on why the xray was done. You will need to discuss this case with the doc who ordered it and see what should be done next.
