In this case， we have lateral views of the lumbar spine, and you would notice (that the) immediately that the bones are abnormal, right? The vertebral bodies look sclerosis,there's cortical thickening, they have a picture-frame appearance, so the very edges of the vertebral bodies are more sclerotic with central lucency. Also you can often see that there's coarsening of the trabeculae， and their vertebral bodies, if they're involved， can also appear a little bit larger.

And this is an example of the appearance on x-ray of Paget's disease. That's a disorder that involves the abnormal bone destruction and regrowth, and that you get deformity in the affected bones. And of course the cause is unknown, but it's thought there may be genetic factors that are associated with it, or even there's some evidence to say that it's caused by a virus early in life.

【Paget's disease 佩吉特病】

在这位患者的侧位腰椎平片中，可以很明显的看到椎体骨质的异常。可见椎体硬化，皮质增厚，出现“画框征象”，因此椎体边缘比椎体中心硬化更严重。可见骨小梁排列紊乱，若累及椎体，可引起椎体增大。

这是一例佩吉特病的平片表现，该病可引起异常的骨质破坏和骨再生，可见病变骨畸形。目前病因未明，但有些说法认为是由于基因因素，也有一些证据可以证明其由幼年时病毒感染引起。
