My Pet Scan Results. Where does this put me? TIA

[Blueribbon63]

IMPRESSION:

There has been some interval treatment response. There still remain multiple osseous metastatic lesions,

however, the remaining are decreased in activity and some have resolved.

There is also been treatment response in active retroperitoneal/retrocrural lymph nodes. Only a single

upper abdominal retroperitoneal lymph node remains increased in activity. This has decreased in size

compared to the prior exam as well.

Findings:

Head and neck: Physiologic activity is noted in the nasopharyngeal mucosa and salivary glands..

Chest: There is normal distribution of activity in the chest.

Abdomen: There is a increased activity noted in the high left retroperitoneal lymph node. The maximum SUV

of 19, however, this has decreased in size from 1.9 cm to 1.1 cm. Additionally, there were additional

previously noted lymph nodes with increased activity which are no longer identified.

Pelvis: There is normal distribution of activity in the pelvis.

Spine/Extremities: Scattered osseous metastatic lesions are again noted. Small focal area of activity is

noted at C3 with an SUV of 7.1. Left scapular activity is noted with maximum SUV of 3.6. Marked activity

within the T2 vertebra is noted with a maximum SUV of 35. Multiple areas of activity are seen in

scattered ribs. Hypermetabolic activity is also seen in pelvis. However, overall number of lesions have

decreased from the prior exam. Additionally, only a right iliac lesion appears to be associated with

areas of sclerosis.

CT chest, abdomen and pelvis and proximal thigh:

Correlative CT imaging through the chest, abdomen and pelvis demonstrates bilateral nonobstructing kidney

stones. The liver surface appears somewhat nodular.
