Bone tb is not transmitted from one to another
Without any symptoms those findings in xray can be taken normal

No not at all.....extra pulmonary TB usually does not spread,and after treatment of 3-4 weeks sputum does not transmit bacilli,so relax and only watch for symptoms,if symptoms are there then only TB is suspected
