What Treatment Should Be Taken After Going Through The CT Scan Report?

What does it mean when they show on CT scan a slightly more heterogeneous appearance of the bony structures of the spine. Suspect may be related to some early bone demineralization with new endplate Schmorl s node formation. Is there treatment that should be done?

Hi,
Your findings suggest the bones are showing a non homogeneous architecture. This can be due to bone mineral density changes. End plate Schmorl nodule is a degenerative change. Taking medications to strengthen the bones is advised.
