Osteophytosis is little outgrowths from the end of bones. It is part of arthritis - or 'osteoarthritis' - and is nothing to be concerned about in itself. 'Multilevel' means that it occurs at several places along the spine.

This simply means arthritis of the spine.

What is marginal osteophytosis?

Marginal osteophytosis refers to the formation of osteophytes, or bone spurs, at the margins of joints, often as a result of osteoarthritis or other degenerative joint conditions. These bony projections develop in response to joint stress and can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and joint stiffness. While they are typically a sign of joint degeneration, osteophytes can sometimes contribute to joint stability. Diagnosis usually involves imaging techniques like X-rays or MRI.

You need to discuss just why this might be so in this case with the ordering doctor... I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but there are so many reasons this condition might be seen on an MRI, that your doctor will have a better idea of what it might be...
