X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE THORACIC SPINE

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE THORACIC SPINE

FINDINGS:               Views of the thoracic spine shows some loss in the vertebral body height of what appears to be T8.  There is both superior and inferior scalloping of the endplate.  I would suggest the compression is approximately 40%.

The remaining vertebral body heights and disc spaces appear normally maintained.  Interpedicular distances are normally maintained.  No osteoblastic or osteolytic disease is seen.

IMPRESSION:         Partial collapse of T8.  No other significant abnormalities are identified.


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