‘Non-specific uptake xiphoid process region of the sternum. Correlation with
clinical examination suggested.’
‘Unless there has been trauma to these sites I cannot exclude metastatic disease and
further radiologic correlation is recommended.’
‘This likely represents a normal variant, however, correlation with x-ray is
recommended to rule out loosening or other pathology.’
‘Clinical correlation and further investigation with a left shoulder radiograph is
recommended.’
‘Suspected degenerative change midcervical spine, radiograph would be
confirmatory.’
‘Possible traumatic injury to the sternoclavicular joints bilaterally. Radiographic
correlation is recommended.’
‘Mild focal activity within the left acetabulum anteriorly which is non-specific and
could be related to either degenerative changes or a metastatic deposit.’
