Article Figures & Data

Figures

  • FIGURE 1.
    FIGURE 1.

    Same whole-body bone images displayed with white background on left and black background on right to define lesion better. These images reveal clearly defined cold fracture line (arrows) crossing left femoral neck.

  • FIGURE 2.
    FIGURE 2.

    Anterior (left) and posterior (right) views of pelvis reveal clearly defined cold line crossing left femoral neck.

  • FIGURE 3.
    FIGURE 3.

    T2-weighted fat-saturated MR axial view of left hip demonstrates left subcapital femoral neck fracture with associated bone marrow edema (arrows).

  • FIGURE 4.
    FIGURE 4.

    Same whole-body bone images displayed with more intensity on left than right to define different lesions better. These images taken in 2009 demonstrated no scintigraphic evidence of osseous metastasis or fracture in T12 and no cold fracture line seen in left hip. Arrows indicate injection site.
