Figures & data

Figure 1 A 16-slice computed tomographic scan revealed a left lung nodule superior lobe (2.8×1.2 cm) anterior segment. The nodule had a spiculated sign, pleural indentation, vessel convergence, and multiple burr shadows on the edges.

Figure 3 A 99mTc-MDP bone scan revealed bone metastases at the 4th, 5th, 6th, 10th, and 12th thoracic vertebrae and 4th lumbar vertebrae.

Figure 4 An enlarged lymph node that can be touched on the surface of the body is proven to be structurally abnormal by color ultrasound and is eventually used for pathological biopsy.
