چکیده

Abstract Background 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT is increasingly being used worldwide in prostate cancer patients. Accordingly, there a pressing need for educational resources on the proper interpretation criteria that to be used, including deeper understanding pitfalls and variants one can encounter with this new imaging modality. provides very accurate staging of disease cancer, superior what achieved other standard techniques. It has allowed recognition patterns metastatic perhaps were not fully determined. Case presentation We present three cases patients advanced imaged which, addition widespread osseous disease, evidence unknown unsuspected thyroid cartilage. Conclusion Although rare unusual, it helpful consider possibility carcinoma metastasizing cricoid cartilage, especially disease.

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT for prostate cancer staging and risk stratification in Chinese patients

We evaluated the clinical utility of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT for staging and risk stratification of treatment-naïve prostate cancer (PCa) and metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Twenty-two consecutive patients with treatment-naïve PCa and 18 with mCRPC were enrolled. 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed for the evaluation of primary prostatic le...

Meningioma: A false positive finding of metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma using 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan

A 73-year-old man with history of prostatic adenocarcinoma radical prostatectomy underwent 99mTc-MDP whole-body bone scan and subsequent 68Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand PET/CT for restaging due to a gradual rise of prostate-specific antigen levels. Whole-body bone scan showed two focal zones of slightly increased uptake in the right fronto-par...

Optimal MRI sequences for 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI in evaluation of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer

BACKGROUND PET/MRI can be used for the detection of disease in biochemical recurrence (BCR) patients imaged with 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET. This study was designed to determine the optimal MRI sequences to localize positive findings on 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET of patients with BCR after definitive therapy. Fifty-five consecutive prostate cancer patients with BCR imaged with 68Ga-PSMA-11 3.0T PET/MRI were retros...

Integration of CT urography improves diagnostic confidence of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in prostate cancer patients

BACKGROUND To prove the feasibility of integrating CT urography (CTU) into 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and to analyze the impact of CTU on assigning focal tracer accumulation in the ureteric space to either ureteric excretion or metastatic disease concerning topographic attribution and diagnostic confidence. METHODS Ten prostate cancer patients who underwent 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT including CTU because ...
