In 2 adults who had received thorotrast intravenously at ages 2 and 3 years, respectively, radiopaque outlines of their infantile vertebrae were seen in the adult vertebrae. Similar "ghosts" of the hemipelves were present in the pelvis of 1 patient. Autopsy findings and autoradiographs in 1 patient strongly suggest that persisting thorotrast deposits in the infantile vertebrae and pelvis have produced a chronic radiation osteitis and dense thickened bone trabeculae, which are more radiopaque than the surrounding adult bone.
在分别于2岁和3岁时接受过静脉注射钍造影剂的2名成年人中，在其成人椎骨中可见婴儿期椎骨的不透射线轮廓。1例患者的骨盆中也存在类似的半骨盆“影像”。1例患者的尸检结果和放射自显影片强烈表明，婴儿期椎骨和骨盆中持续存在的钍造影剂沉积物已导致慢性放射性骨炎和致密增厚的骨小梁，其比周围的成人骨骼更不透射线。
