although its nice to have your images unless u r a radiologist most primary care docs wont be able to read that wither. I can not see your scores at all mb its my PC. but get a print out of your final report that will have a T score and a z score for each region and detail whether your your bone denisity is normal, osteopenic or osteoporotic range. Hope that helps.
I tried to find your T scores and the Z score...I do not see those. Are they on one of the pages ? It show the ranges somewhere, but it's so small.

I tried to zoom in to see the T scores and Z scores, but it blurrs the numbers so much I can't read them. 
I do not see a summary page that usually comes with mine that gives an over T & Z score for the femur and AP spine.. Those are the two that are most important along with the overall BMD total score.
On my summary page it usually gives a diagnosis as well... such as if osteo treatment is advised or not and compares it with others in my age range. Sorry I am not more help.
