A CT examination was performed in 77-year old female patient with multiple vertebral metastases from a renal cell carcinoma.

A 77-year-old female patient with multiple vertebral metastases from a renal cell carcinoma, which had been stabilized with several spinal fusion operations, presented herself to the emergency room complaining of weakness in her left leg. A CT examination was performed to assess the degree of osteolytic destruction, the integrity and position of the osteosynthetic material and to rule out an infiltration or compression of the spinal canal and the neuroforamina by metastases or hematoma.

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.
