Findings:
A chest SPECT/CT scan was then performed. Bone SPECT revealed a focal increased
uptake of the tracer in the thoracic spine, perfectly correlated with a
dense lesion clearly visible in the vertebral body on CT Hawkeye images.
Conclusion:
A diagnostic CT scan was also performed and confirmed the lesion in the
vertebra. The lesion was diagnosed as an angioma.
