case_images: Axial slices through the thoracic spine (a, b) and the pelvis (c, d). EID-CT on the left (a, c) and PCD-CT on the right (b, d). Lytic lesions in the vertebral bodies on the PCD-CT image (white solid arrows; b) are more conspicuous than on the EID-CT image (a). In the pelvis, a focal lesion in the left sacrum (yellow dash arrow) is also more obvious on the PCD image (d).

case_images: Images from this scan revealed a lytic lesion in a thoracic vertebral body and a focal lesion in the sacrum (Fig. 1).

case_images: Axial slices through the mid femur (a, b) and the supra-acetabular iliac region of the pelvis (c, d). Endosteal scalloping of the inner table of the right distal femur (solid arrows) is seen on EID-CT (a) and PCD-CT (b) images. In the pelvis, where the low-dose levels greatly impact lesion visibility, small lytic lesions (yellow dashed arrows) are more conspicuous on the PCD-CT image (d) compared to the clinical standard EID-CT (c).

case_images: However, the margins of these lesions were more clearly delineated on the PCD-CT scan acquired on the same day (Fig. 2).
