On evaluation, a slightly elevated serum alkaline-phosphatase level prompted a search for bone metastases. Although x-ray radiography and a bone scan were apparently normal, an MRI scan revealed the presence of metastatic marrow infiltration in the lumbar vertebrae. The patient subsequently was ...
Lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed mild herniated disc at lumbar segments 4 and 5 (L4CL5) and lumbar segment 5 and sacral segment 1 (L5CS1). as having chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and prednisone. However, his condi...
In December 2011, Ati came back to Penang again. MRI done on 5 December 2011 revealed extensive vertebral metastasis involving the thoracic and lumbar spine. There was a fracture at L4 vertebra and bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing at L4/5 and L3/4. Blood test done on 7 December 2011 indic...
Sagittal T2WI (a) render an overview of the pelvis including the distal lumbar region. The image displaying the distended uterine cavity is used as reference for sections perpendicular (b) and along the long uterine axis (c). DWI are used in same plane as in b. The tumour displays ...
There was also involvement of bilateral seminal vesicles and bony metastases in the lumbar vertebrae (not shown). Serum PSA was markedly elevated (200 ug/l). Besides the prostate, the bladder may also be directly invaded by adjacent pelvic neoplasms, such as from the colon and rectum. Other ...
11 June and 12 June 2024:I was admitted into Hospital C in Johor. I did an X-ray to my lumbar to confirm once again that the bones in my lower back were okay. I did a CT scan of the brain. And this was repeated the next day as a way of monitoring my progress. My situation ...

An overall improvement was observed when BS was augmented using single-photon emission computerised tomography (SPECT) in the lower thoracic and lumbar spine, or across the entire axial skeleton (whole-body SPECT) (Fig.1) [37,39,40,41]. On a per-patient basis in breast cancer, SPECT showed...
