Is it possible replacing image with display.newImage() API?

Getting Started Tell Us About Yourself
#1

I have some doubts about this API, display.NewImage() . Can someone help me?
 

I wrote this code:  
my variables are: “nombreCat” and “idPal” for changing image 
imagen = display.newImage( nombreCat…"/img/img_"…idPal…".jpg", 50, 80 )

imagen.anchorX, imagen.anchorY = 0, 0

imagen.width, imagen.height = 180, 200 

I want to change image but I would like using same variable "imagen", because I want my new image appears on the same position, replacing previous image. Is it possible changing only the filename? or is it necessary declare all properties again? 

Regards!
