FIGURE 4. Patient with lung cancer. (A) ^99mTc-HMDP scans show no definite bone metastases, although anterior pelvis image could not be obtained. (B) ^99mTc-MIBI scans show increased uptake in multiple regions of ribs, in thoracic and lumbar spine, and in right lung tumor and also show irregular-shaped uptake in bilateral proximal femur in anterior pelvis image. MRI showed multiple metastases in thoracic spine, and bone marrow cytology from puncture sites on sternum showed many lung cancer cells.
