[11C]-choline PET/CT in imaging locally advanced prostate cancer
Nucl. Med. Rev 2011;14(2):118-119.
Abstract
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 the early image acquisition and
the delayed urinary excretion of the carbon-11 labeled tracer.
