Comments: L2 and L3 are excluded for focal structural anomalies; L2 also demonstrates a T-score discrepancy. A focal structural anomaly and decreased height suggest a compression fracture at T12. VFA images confirm the T12 compression fracture and also demonstrate degenerative disc disease between the 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebrae.
