Article Figures & Data

Figures

  • FIGURE 1.
    FIGURE 1.

    Mild uptake in left thyroid lobe on images obtained using 99mTc-sodium pertechnetate, in contrast to heightened uptake in left arm. Posterior view shows focal, intense uptake in posteromedial region.

  • FIGURE 2.
    FIGURE 2.

    Transaxial CT image (A), SPECT image (B), fusion SPECT/CT image (C), and maximum-intensity projection (D) showing intense uptake at lytic area at left lamina of fifth thoracic vertebra.

  • FIGURE 3.
    FIGURE 3.

    Bone scan showing focus of increased uptake in left humerus (upper arrows) and photopenic area in right bone of pelvis (lower arrow). Injection site and urinary bladder are masked.

  • FIGURE 4.
