Ossification is uncommon, generally asymptomatic, and often incidentally identified in imaging studies. We report on a 54-year-old man who participated as a healthy volunteer in a clinical trial using PET imaging to investigate neuroinflammation. An incidental ossified lesion in the anterior falx cerebri was revealed by MRI. CT scan showed a small hypodense center in the lesion, probably corresponding to bone marrow. The PET scans using 18 F-SF51, 11 C-PS13, and 11 C-MC1 showed increased uptake within this lesion, which was probably related to bone marrow activity within the ossification.
骨化不常见,通常无症状,常在影像学研究中偶然发现。我们报告了一例 54 岁男性,他作为健康志愿者参加了一项使用 PET 成像研究神经炎症的临床试验。MRI 显示大脑镰前部有一处意外的骨化病变。CT 扫描显示病变中有一个小的低密中心,可能对应骨髓。使用 18 F-SF51、11 C-PS13 和 11 C-MC1 的 PET 扫描显示该病变内摄取增加,这可能与骨化内骨髓活性有关。
