It pertains to the thorax...
But you can use it as a thoracic spine, thoracic surgery, thoracic cavity, thoracic outlet syndrome, thoracic spine pain, thoracic vertebrae, thoracic medicine, thoracic surgeons, thoracic strains, sprain thoracic, or thoracic spine disorder; it's pretty self explanatory.
The body cavity bounded by the ribs is the thoracic cavity. It contains the heart, lungs, and other structures involved in breathing and circulation.
The upper limit of the human thoracic cavity is the superior thoracic aperture, which is also known as the thoracic inlet. This aperture is bounded by the first thoracic vertebra, the first pair of ribs, and the superior border of the manubrium of the sternum.
The thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.
That would be the thoracic vertebrae. (. . . of the thorax), and there are 12 of them - T1 through T12.
I would like to ask meaning of thoracic disc margins have earlydegeneratitive lipping?

The phrase "calcification of the thoracic" is incomplete. There a missing word after "thoracic."
ATS is American Thoracic Society in medical terms.

"Alignment is satisfactory with preservation of thoracic kyphosis" indicates that the spinal alignment is acceptable while maintaining the natural curvature of the thoracic spine, which is the upper and mid-back region. This suggests that there are no significant deformities or misalignments affecting the thoracic area, allowing for proper posture and function. Preserving thoracic kyphosis is important for overall spinal biomechanics and can help prevent issues such as pain or mobility limitations.
You could take it to mean a mildly twisted aorta. Do more research though.
Well, scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. The cervicothoracic part deals with the location of the curve. The cervical region is the neck, and the thoracic is the upper back. So the cervicothoracic scoliosis would be a curvature of the spine in the neck/upper back
