Figure 3

A 54-year-old woman with left lung cancer. Bone scanning (BS) shows focally increased uptake in the left ninth, tenth, and twelfth posterior ribs, three to five lumbar vertebrae and nearby regions of the lesser trochanter of the right femur (A). PET-CT revealed increased 18FDG intake at the left tenth posterior rib, right ilium, and right femur; the maximum standardized uptake value was 12.6 (B and C). More metastatic lesions were detected using 99mTc-MDP BS than 18F-FDG PET-CT.
