Figure 1 Compressed bone of thoracic 12 vertebrae showing a high T1 signal and low T2 signal.
Figure 2 Bone single photon emission tomography/computed tomography showing T12 compression of the whole body bone, and the concentration of radioactivity in bilateral ribs, thus bone metastasis was considered.
Figure 3 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography showing focal glucose metabolism in the left lobe of the prostate, and a malignant tumor waiting to be excreted.
