چکیده
Abstract Background Recent studies reported metabolic uptake in at least one of the evaluated ganglia 98.5% patients undergoing 68 Ga -PSMA-11 and 96.9% 18 F-DCFPyL PET/CT examination. We have observed different patterns ganglion visualization with compared to Ga-PSMA-11. This includes more frequent cervical sacral ganglia, which may be attributable better imaging characteristics F PET imaging. Case presentation pictorial essay is illustrate compare, same patient, various representative cases Ga-PSMA-11 anatomic locations, distribution activity. Conclusion Reading physicians should aware frequently encountered occasionally physiologic DCFPyL ganglia.

Patterns of uptake of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted 18F-DCFPyL in peripheral ganglia
OBJECTIVE Radiotracers targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have increasingly been recognized as showing uptake in a number of normal structures, anatomic variants, and non-prostate-cancer pathologies. We aimed to explore the frequency and degree of uptake in peripheral ganglia in patients undergoing PET with the PSMA-targeted agent 18F-DCFPyL. METHODS A total of 98 patients wh...

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...

Introduction: Accurate staging plays an important role in management of patients with prostate cancer especially in high-risk group. Today, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT should be considered as the preferred imaging tool for treatment planning and initial staging of the disease. Methods: A total number of 628 patients with prostate cancer referred to...

Radiotracers targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), including [18F]DCFPyL, have been extensively investigated as a means to image prostate cancer more accurately. We present the case of a man with oligometastatic prostate cancer who was also diagnosed with a metastatic small bowel carcinoid tumor following the detection of indeterminate findings on a [18F]DCFPyL PET and discuss ho...
