A 69-year-old man with remote gastric pull-up was evaluated a 2-day stress-rest dypiridamole Tc-99m sestamibi myocardial perfusion imaging, where significant tracer uptake noted in the posterior mediastinum related to enterogastric reflux of sestamibi. These ancillary findings were suggestive noncardiac etiology patient's atypical chest pain. This case highlights value examining raw projection images for incidental that may be present during imaging.
