From: A comparative study of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography and 99mTc-MDP whole-body bone scanning for imaging osteolytic bone metastases

Figure 4

A 61-year-old woman with left superior lung cancer. Bone scanning (BS) indicated focally increased uptake in the left fifth and sixth posterior rib, the left acetabulum, and the bilateral inferior ramus of the pubis (A). PET-CT revealed that the bone in the left fifth and sixth posterior ribs, the left acetabulum, and the bilateral inferior ramus of the pubis was destroyed. 18FDG uptake in these areas was significantly increased. The maximum standardized uptake value was 5.25 (B and C). The same number of metastatic lesions were detected using PET-CT and BS.
