The Revista Española de Medicina Nuclear e Imagen Molecular (Spanish Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging), was founded in 1982, and is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, which has more than 700 members. The Journal, which publishes 6 regular issues per year, has the promotion of research and continuing education in all fields of Nuclear Medicine as its main aim. For this, its principal sections are Originals, Clinical Notes, Images of Interest, and Special Collaboration articles. The works may be submitted in Spanish or English and are subjected to a peer review process. In 2009, it became the leading Spanish journal in the field of Medical Imaging on having an Impact Factor , awarded by the Journal Citation Reports.

Abstract

A 53-year-old patient underwent a positron emission tomography/computed tomography with 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (18F-FDG PET/CT) in the suspicious of gastric tumor recurrence (mediastinal and abdominal lymph nodes). PET/CT identified only an area of 18F-FDGuptake in the twelfth thoracic vertebrae. Unexpectedly, a bone scintigraphy revealed many “hot” spots changing the diagnosis (single metastasis versus plurimetastatic disease) and impacting on patient's management.

Resumen

Un paciente de 53 años fue sometido a una tomografía por emisión de positrones-tomografía computarizada con 18F-2-fluoro-2 deoxi-d-glucosa (18F-FDG PET/TC) ante la sospecha de recidiva de cáncer de estómago (nódulos linfáticos en mediastino y abdomen). El PET/TC identificó únicamente una zona de captación de 18F-FDG en la duodécima vértebra torácica. Sorpresivamente, la gammagrafía ósea reveló muchas imágenes hipercaptantes que modificaron el diagnóstico (metástasis única en lugar de metástasis múltiples) con el consiguiente impacto en el tratamiento del paciente.
