[Myocardial perfusion imaging and coronary artery disease : recent technological innovations].

Cardiovascular diseases represent the first cause of mortality in the world. Various exploration methods exist to prevent and diagnose them. Among them, cardiac scintigraphy holds a predominant place.

[Intraoperative scintigraphic visualization of a single rib metastasis from operated prostatic adenocarcinoma].

We present a case of a lonely bone lesion after a prostatic adenocarcinoma with recurrent increased PSA. The localization of the metastasis at the level of a rib is infrequent. The precise localization of the lesion was made possible by intraoperative scintigraphy.

Clinical added-value of 18FDG PET in neuroendocrine-merkel cell carcinoma.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and highly malignant skin cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation. We studied the potential value of 18FDG PET in the management of MCC. Eleven patients with MCC were examined by 18FDG PET and PET-CT for staging purpose (n=4) or for detection of recurrence (n=7).
