“…MRI may be used for ambiguous cases. In addition, osseous remodeling after fracture will show increased FDG uptake and should be differentiated from osseous metastasis [63]. CT and FDG patterns are key to differentiate these two etiologies.…”

Purpose of review To review acute findings commonly encountered during routine clinical FDG PET/CT studies and present key imaging features to differentiate them from malignant counterparts. Recent findings FDG PET/CT is extensively used in routine clinical practice for oncology patients. Incidental acute findings in patients undergoing FDG PET/CT are increasingly common, and awareness of these findings and their mimics are important in delivering a clinically relevant and accurate radiological report for directing further management. Summary This article will review examples of common acute findings encountered during routine FDG PET/CT scans, compare them against examples of FDG-avid malignancy that can mimic these findings and emphasize key imaging findings to differentiate acute findings from their malignant mimics.

“…In addition, MRI can also observe the intervertebral disc herniation and Spinal tumors. Emission computed tomography (ECT), such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), can identify tumors based on differences in the concentration of radionuclides in different tissues [9]. Since the patient was a 39-year-old primipara, we performed a SPECT examination to rule out potential malignancies.…”

Pregnancy and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) is a rare but serious and difficult to be diagnosed disease, which occurs in the late gestation and early lactation, mainly manifested by low back pain, vertebral fracture and reduction of hip bone density. It is difficult to diagnose and has a high rate of misdiagnosis and mistreatment. We present the case of a 39-year-old woman who suffered from acute low back pain and walking difficulty after a sudden stoop in 2 months postnatal. The X-ray and MRI examination showed that fractures occurred in the first, second and fifth lumbar vertebrae. Bone mineral density (BMD) examination confirmed osteoporosis. After stopping lactation, calcium and vitamin K2 supplemented, compared with zoledronic acid injection, the low back pain was relieved and the BMD increased gradually. The incidence of PLO is seriously underestimated in clinical practice. Women in pregnancy and lactation with acute low back pain should be highly alert to the occurrence of PLO, and early treatment need to be taken in case of further serious consequences such as vertebral compression fracture or hip fracture.
