Vitamin B12 is essential for life. Lack of it results in pernicious anemia and death. Conversely, the demand for vitamin B12 increases in rapidly dividing tumors. This is secondary to the direct involvement of vitamin B12 in mitochondrial metabolism as well as its indirect role in the production of thymidylate and S-adenosylmethionine. The latter 2 substances are needed for DNA synthesis and cellular methylation reactions, respectively. Novel radiolabeling of adenosylcobalamin has proven to be useful in the imaging of transplanted and spontaneous tumors in animals. Herein, we describe what we believe to be the first human to have imaging with conventional gamma cameras of vitamin B12 metabolism in a breast tumor.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
