Summary
FDG PET/CT imaging revealed increased spleen and bone marrow activity in a child post-chemotherapy due to hematopoietin. Intense sphenoid bone activity was identified as un-converted red marrow.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Oncology
- Nuclear Medicine
- Radiology
Background:
- Malignant rhabdoid tumors are aggressive pediatric neoplasms.
- Restaging after treatment is crucial for patient management.
- Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FDG PET/CT) is a key imaging modality.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
7.6K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
13.7K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
