X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE THORACIC SPINE

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE THORACIC SPINE

FINDINGS:               The history as presented was low back pain, but the patient’s mother and sister are on the thoracic spine.

Vertebral body heights and disc spaces are normally maintained.  Posterior elements are intact.  There may be a minimal scoliotic deformity of the lower thoracic and upper lumbar spine, though this could also be positional.

IMPRESSION:         No acute osseous abnormality identified.


Thank you for the referral.
XXXXXXXXX, M.D.
