Question: I would like to know if on a CT Urogram and KUB X-Ray you would see pelvic bone lesions if they were there?

Brief Answer:
CT urogram and KUB scan will show any bone lesions

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

CT scan shows bone lesions well and a CT urogram and KUB scan will show any bone lesions if any.

You can send across the CT scan images for a second view if needed.

I will attach the CT Scan file. I know I have a 2.2 cm benign lesion that has been stable for 15 years, but I want to rule out any other lesions. The doctor did not comment on my bones in this study.

Brief Answer:
Please upload CD containing DICOM images and share on google drive.

Detailed Answer:
HI,
Thanks for writing back to us.

The file sharing is working.

However the images need to be in DICOM format (medial image format) so that I can upload to my workstation and look for bone lesions. The images sent are in JPG format abdomen window setting and do not show bone details and cannot be uploaded to the workstation.

Please upload CD containing DICOM images and share on google drive.

Brief Answer:
suspicious ill defined lucent area in the left iliac bone near leftSI joint

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back to us.

There is a suspicious ill defined lucent area in the left iliac bone near the inferior part of left sacroiliac joint area. Rarely such a finding can be artefactual due to abnormal air in the bowels.

Brief Answer:
We are talking about the same area

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back to us.

We are talking about the same lesion. If it has been there without any significant changes for 15 years then it certainly is benign.

Ok the suspicious area you are referencing, is this about 2 cm mixed lucent and sclerotic along the medial aspect for the left iliac bone? Adjacent to sacroiliac joint? If so, this has been on my imaging for 15 years and has been deemed a benign growth. Please confirm if we are talking about the same area and that there is one area, and not two?
