- Narrowing of the T12-T13, T13-L1, L1-L2 and L3-L4 intervertebral disc spaces. These vertebrae are also affected by spondylosis deformans at different degrees.
- Mineral density shadows located immediately dorsal to the T13-L1 (as a double arch), L3-L4 (two oval shadows) and L4-L5 (one long oval shadow) intervertebral disc spaces.
