Abstract

Patient is a 74-year-old woman with a history of breast carcinoma and known metastatic brachial plexopathy and pulmonary and mediastinal nodal involvement. She had bilateral mastectomies 5 years ago and is currently on chemotherapy. A 6-month follow-up PET/CT study demonstrated no significant interval change in intensity of the previously evident hypermetabolic activity of the brachial plexopathy. However, this activity has extended superiorly and medially involving the right lateral aspect of the epidural space at the C5-6 level, consistent with epidural involvement. In addition, the hypermetabolic activity of the pulmonary and mediastinal metastases has also increased, consistent with interval progression of the disease.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 January 2013.
All research outputs
#20,656,820
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Nuclear Medicine
#2,733
of 5,008 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#148,864
of 190,995 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Nuclear Medicine
#56
of 99 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,008 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.5. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 190,995 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 99 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
