چکیده

The (18)F-choline PET-CT (FCH) has better performance in the assessment of patients with prostate cancer than (18)F-FDG. However, similarly, it is also not a tumor specific radiotracer. We present four (18)F-FCH PET-CT scans in which false positive findings were correctly assessed after evaluation with CT, clinical parameters and/or histological analysis.

Physiological distribution and range of normal SUVmax values of 18F-Choline PET/CT

Introduction: 18F-Choline PET-CT is an increasingly used technique in patients with prostate cancer. The main indication is to localise the disease in patients with biochemical recurrence. To accurately interpret 18F-Choline PET, knowledge of normal tracer distribution is paramount. The aim of this study was to describe the normal distribution pattern of 18F-Cho...

Objective(s): We performed a phase IIa clinical trial of trans-1-amino-3-18Ffluoro-cyclobutane carboxylic acid (anti-18F-FACBC), a synthetic amino acid analog for PET, in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Methods: The study subjects consisted of 10 untreated prostate cancer patients having lymph node and/or bone metastasis. Five patients underwent whole-body PET 5 and 30 min after intra...

Choline PET/CT Imaging for Management of Prostate Cancer

Whole-body Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) with [11C]and [18F]-labeled choline derivatives has emerged as a promising molecular imaging modality for evaluation of prostate cancer. 11C-choline and 18F-flurocholine PET/CT examinations have been shown to be effective for restaging of prostate cancer patients with biochemical disease recurrence after undergoing definitive ...

Single Orbital Metastasis in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Introduction: Orbital metastasis of prostate cancer (PC) is very rare and even more unique in castration-resistant PC (CRPC). In this scenario, choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (choline PET/CT) is the gold-standard restaging method of choice available in our setting, and new anti-androgens treatments show improvement in overall survival. Case presentation: We report the...
