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

The use of 18F-DOPA PET/CT with magnetic resonance imaging fusion and the use of visual methods and quantitative analysis helps to differentiate between changes post-radiosurgery versus suspicion of disease progression in a patient with brain metastases from melanoma, thus facilitating taking early surgical action.

Resumen

La utilización del 18F-DOPA PET/TC junto a la superposición con imágenes de resonancia magnética y el empleo de métodos de análisis visual y semicuantitativo permitió diferenciar entre las alteraciones posradiocirugía vs. sospecha de progresión de la enfermedad en un paciente con metástasis cerebrales de melanoma, permitiendo tomar una conducta quirúrgica correcta precozmente.
