What Does this test Result Mean?

My results came in but I don t quite know what they mean. I m asking if you may please help me understand what they mean I d appreciate it. The results say , 4 non-rib bearing vertebral bodies ar identified. Alignment is intact. The facet joint relationships are preserved. Vertebral body heights are maintained. There is no significant disc spacing narrowing, endplate osteophyte formation or facet joint hypertrophy. There is mild anterior elevation of the coccyx which is likely within normal limits of variability. The sacroiliac joints are unremarkable. Mineralization is within normal limits.
