PET/CT Scan July 14, 2011

COMPARISON: comparison is made to the previous study on February 10, 2011

FINDINGS:  There are no areas of hypermetabolic soft tissue activity in the neck suggestive of malignancy.  No areas of hypermetabolic soft tissue activity are seen in the chest.  There is no evidence of metastatic disease in liver, spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands or kidneys.  Since previous study there has been a significant increase in hypermetabolic osseous metastatic disease.  Multiple hypermetabolic lesions are present throughout the entire spine, sacrum, pelvis, ribs, and the sternum and proximal long bones.  The previous study demonstrated only significant hypermetabolic activity in the left sixth rib.  The extent of hypermetabolic disease is not as great was seen on an earlier PET/CT scan on August 20, 2010.  There are diffuse osteoblastic changes on the CT mapping study and multiple mild compression deformities in the thoracic spine and lumbar which are stable.

IMPRESSION:
1.  Significant progression of hypermetabolic osseous metastatic disease
2.  No soft tissue metastases are identified.
