Hi,

all this can be a shock, so I'll tell you what I think the radiologist is discussing!

SpA is SpA......

diffuse is the pattern the radiologist sees on the films which seems to me implies it's not a bright white host area and more widespread as in a light diffuser.

Degenerative means there are changes, and that's what arthritis is!

I can't find a condition such as diffuse degenerative SpA, these are typical words on a radiologists report, and it describes the pattern seen.

Lucky, the radiologist can spell SpA, most can't and most can't pick up the changes accurately in SpA.

Now SpA is the family of arthritis AS belongs to, so you are in the right place and are very welcome!

David
