Spanish term or phrase: aparición de focos hipercaptantes

Yet more specific terms and acronyms... I clearly should take a leaf out of Neilmac's book. CONTEXT:

"Gammagrafía ósea: (31 julio 11): metástasis en la columna vertebral con focos hipercaptantes".

I've found several sites that translate this as "hypercaptating", but it strikes me as too literal a translation and is very rare on Google (100 hits approx.). I know that "hipercaptación" would be "increased take-up", but what would be the adjectival form? TIA.

46 mins confidence:

Emergence of spotlight uptake

Explanation:
I think that the correct term for aparicion in this case would be EMERGENCE. focos hipercaptantes=Spotlight uptake

So in the end, I think that aparicion de focos hipercaptantes could be translated as the "emergence of spotlight uptake".
