Update of the role of Nuclear Medicine techniques in the pre-surgical localization of primary hyperparathyroidism
Publication date: Available online 15 February 2019Source: Revista Española de Medicina Nuclear e Imagen Molecular (English Edition)Author(s): P. García-Talavera San Miguel, F. Gómez-Caminero López, J.G. Villanueva Curto, M.P. Tamayo Alonso, M.E. Martín GómezAbstractPrimary hyperparathyroidism is one of the most frequent endocrine disorders. Its diagnosis is biochemical. Imaging techniques are not useful for the diagnosis of this pathology; they are just tools for pre-surgical localization. In this continuing education, we will analyze the different imaging modalities used in this indication, focusing on Nuclear Medi...

Relevance of radium-223 in hospital clinical practice from a medical oncologist point of view
Publication date: Available online 14 February 2019Source: Revista Española de Medicina Nuclear e Imagen Molecular (English Edition)Author(s): R. Lozano, E. Almagro, E. CastroAbstractCurrently, there are several options available for the treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), however evidence on the optimal treatment sequence is lacking. 223Ra is the first targeted alpha therapy that has shown an improvement in overall survival in mCRPC patients. This drug specifically targets bone lesions, so there is a window of opportunity for the administration of 223Ra previous to the development of vis...

Association between white matter lesions and cerebral glucose metabolism in patients with cognitive impairment
ConclusionsWMLs are associated with decreased cerebral glucose metabolism. Our findings suggest that small vessel disease, as well as Aβ pathology, may contribute to cognitive impairment in patients with Alzheimer's disease.ResumenObjetivoLos daños en la sustancia blanca (DSB), detectados como hiperintensidades en las imágenes de RM ponderadas en T2, representan la enfermedad de pequeños vasos cerebrales, y están considerados como un factor de riesgo potencial de trastornos de la memoria y disfunción cognitiva. No se ha evidenciado suficientemente que la disfunción cognitiva en pacientes con enfermedad de Alzheimer ...
