Are Mild Degenerative Changes Of The Thoracic Spine A Concern?
Hello I had a CT x-ray. Frontal and lateral views demonstrate expanded and clear lungs. The costophrenic sulci are sharp. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is unremarkable. Aorta is normal in caliber without calcified atherosclerotic plague. There are mild degenerative changes of the thoracic spine. Impression: No acute cardiopulmonary process radiographically. What does this mean?
