The Role of MRSI in Target Volume Definition for Radiation Therapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Recently, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), as a functional imaging method, has been used for clinical target volume definition. In this study, we used this method to define the target volume in prostate radiotherapy. Material and Method: In this study, we used images of 20 prostate cancer cases. MRSI and MRI images were fused with CT images. Then, treatment plannin...
متن کاملFDA approves 11C-choline for PET in prostate cancer.
T he U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on September 12 approval of production and use of 11C-choline for PET imaging in recurrent prostate cancer. The Mayo Clinic PET Radiochemistry Facility (Rochester, MN) will be the first approved facility to produce the tracer injection. 11C-choline must be produced in a specialized facility and must be administered to patients shortly after...
متن کامل[11C]choline PET/CT impacts treatment decision making in patients with prostate cancer referred for radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND The purpose of our study was to analyze the role of [(11)C]choline-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (cho-PET/CT) in the management of patients with prostate cancer referred for radiotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Inclusion criteria for this retrospective study were (1) presence of prostate cancer, (2) referral for first radiotherapy course (for primary or recurrent t...
متن کامل[11C]-choline PET/CT in imaging locally advanced prostate cancer.
PET Imaging with [11C]-choline has become a useful tool in the investigation of prostate cancer, with as main application the assessment of previously treated patients presenting with rising PSA and negative conventional imaging procedures. In this case report we describe [11C]-choline PET/CT findings in a patient with a locally advanced cancer, which could be successfully identified thanks to ...
متن کاملTarget volume definition in high-risk prostate cancer patients using sentinel node SPECT/CT and 18 F-choline PET/CT
BACKGROUND To assess the influence of sentinel lymph nodes (SNs) SPECT/CT and 18 F-choline (18 F-FCH) PET/CT in radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning for prostate cancer patients with a high-risk for lymph node (LN) involvement. METHODS Twenty high-risk prostate cancer patients underwent a pelvic SPECT acquisition following a transrectal ultrasound guided injection of 99mTc-Nanocoll into the p...
