Figures

  • FIGURE 1.
    FIGURE 1.

    Anterior (left) and posterior (right) whole-body images from 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scan show heterogeneous uptake in right upper quadrant of abdomen with morphology suggestive of liver.

  • FIGURE 2.
    FIGURE 2.

    Spot anterior view of thorax and upper abdomen from 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scan shows heterogeneous liver uptake in better detail. Photopenic defect overlying right anterior chest wall corresponds to breast prosthesis.

  • FIGURE 3.
    FIGURE 3.

    Contrast-enhanced coronal CT scan shows extensive hepatic metastases with hepatomegaly. Right breast prosthesis is also present.
