Figure 3
Figure 3 This area is likely to correspond to a bone marrow-confined metastasis not yet characterized by bone remodeling and thus falsely negative in both multidetector computed tomography and 18F-sodium positron emission tomography/computed tomography. No structural lesions or area of 18F-NaF uptake are evident in the vertebral column of this breast cancer patient (A); by contrast an area of high focal 18F-FDG uptake was present in the sixth dorsal vertebra (B). 18F-NaF: 18F-sodium; 18F-FDG: 2-deoxy-2-(18F)fluoro-D-glucose.
