What are subchondral cystic changes?
it is a fluid filled sac under the cartilage

What is subchondral edema?
Related to bone condyles that have swelling beneath the surface. The condyles are the rounded lumpy bits at the end of long thin bones: finger bones (phalanges) or thigh (femur). Subchondral odema occurs commonly when thes bones are forced together sometimes with repeated running on hard surfaces sub femoral or tibial chondral/plataeu or when staving your finger during basket ball straight finger compression. Can take a long time to settle but can settle to no symptoms.
What does lucency mean?
A lucency on an X-ray image represents an area absorbing less radioactive energy than the surrounding tissue. Lucent areas appear dark compared to the surrounding area.

Skull tumor c shaped lucency describes appearance in x-ray.
What is peri-screw lucency on x-ray image?
"Lucency" is a technical term for an area that lets x-rays through tissue and appears darker on the picture. "Peri-screw lucency" is a result of having had a peri-screw inserted into the bone, possibly due to an accident.
What is a subchondral cyst in greater tuberosity?
ageing or degenertive enthesopathy

What is subchondral osteopenia of the distal right radius of the wrist mean?
Osteopenia is abnormally low bone density. In this case, the problem is below the cartilage of the larger bone of the forearm at the wrist.
What causes lucency?
Lucency on medical imaging, such as X-rays, is caused by the passage of X-rays through less dense tissues like air or fluid. This results in those areas appearing darker on the image. Lucency can be seen in conditions like pneumothorax (air in the chest cavity) or pulmonary nodules (small round growth in the lung).
What the function of the subchondral plate?
Helps transmitting loads from the cartilage into the underlying cancellous bone.
How are chest x rays read to diagnose pulmonary disorders?
Patches and irregular areas of density is pneumonia. Shadows in the lung roots may indicate enlarged lymph nodes of a malignancy. Wide spaces between ribs and increased lucency suggests emphysema.
Does a person with subchondral cysts and sclerosis within the roof of the acetabulum need a hip replacement?
yes
Pelvic x-ray shows some lucency?
There is some thinning of the bone in the pelvis.
