My non medical take: "grossly normal" may sound a little 'icky' to some, but the word gross hear means large, basically. The implication is that the overall structure, or 'big picture' of the bones shown indicates that they are normal. There are no abnormalities that are obvious or striking in any way, as far as a typical X ray is able to detect. This does not rule out the possibility that there are problems with the bones that would be detectable using other diagnostic procedures.
You have likely reached your final height once you have gone through puberty and your growth plates have fused. This usually occurs around the ages of 16-18 for girls and 18-21 for boys. Your doctor can also assess your growth and development to determine if you have reached your final height.
Hairline fractures can occur in elderly individuals due to weakened bones from conditions like osteoporosis. Even minor incidents, like a fall or bump, can lead to a hairline fracture. In this case, the heavy casting is likely to immobilize the foot and allow the fracture to heal properly.
The phrase "visualized osseous structures are GROSSLY unremarkable" in a chest X-ray report means that the bones visible in the image, such as the ribs, spine, and sternum, appear normal without any significant abnormalities or concerning findings. "Grossly" indicates that, on a general inspection, there are no apparent issues, although it does not rule out subtle problems that might require further investigation. Overall, it suggests that the skeletal elements in the chest area are healthy.
"Osseous structures grossly intact" on a lung X-ray indicates that the bones visible in the image, such as the ribs and vertebrae, appear normal and show no signs of fractures, lesions, or significant abnormalities. This finding suggests that there is no acute skeletal injury or major bone pathology in the examined area. It helps to rule out bone-related issues while focusing on the lung structures themselves for further evaluation.
Usually to check for broken bones or bone malformations.
It is hard to know what is meant by "test" in this setting. A common "test" for bones is an xray.
not unless your bones are moved forward because of it
The xray will show the bones being close together
When a heart is looked at without using a microscope, the term grossly is used. It was not unusual in anyway (unremarkable). Looking at the heart, everything seems fine. But looking with a microscope may show some thing else.
Yes, XRAY is a company. If you are referring to the electromagnetic radiation, x-ray what you mean.
Visualized osseous structures that are unremarkable in a chest Xray means that everything is normal. Anytime unremarkable is used in an X-ray report it means that the film is normal.
"Thorax grossly attached" on a chest X-ray typically refers to the visual assessment of the thoracic structures, indicating that the lungs, heart, and associated structures appear to be in their expected anatomical positions without significant displacement or abnormalities. This phrase suggests that there are no major signs of pneumothorax, pleural effusion, or other issues that could indicate separation from the thoracic cavity. Overall, it implies that the thoracic components are intact and properly aligned.
this is not normal. are you sure they aren't just her molars? go see your dentist they will xray her mouth and tell you what to do
A normal chest xray but angled up a little and a smaller area at the top of your chest.
