This clinical result shows the outcomes of an oncological re-staging CT of 73-year old male patient with small cell lung cancer.

A 73-year-old male patient, with palliatively treated small cell lung cancer of the right lung, presented for an oncological re-staging CT. To date, there were no known bone metastases. The patient had a history of chronic back pain with slight aggravation during the weeks prior to the planned CT scan. The clinical examination revealed slightly diffuse pain over the middle thoracic spine with no neurological deficits.

The outcomes by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Since there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
