PSMA PET Imaging of Recurrent Prostate Cancer

Patients will be injected with 100-300 MBq of 68Ga-HBED-iPSMA and after a waiting of 60-90 minutes patients will be scanned from mid-skull to mid-thigh.

PET/CT will be acquired using a GE 710 or 690 time-of-flight PET/CT scanner. Following a waiting period of 60-90 minutes post 68Ga-HBED-iPSMA administration, patients will be scanned from top of the skull to mid-thigh. Images will be acquired with patients in a supine position with their arms raised above their head. If patients cannot raise their arms above the head, the arms will be comfortably positioned and secured by the side of the patient. The PET may be combined with a CT scan as a PET/CT or a MRI scan as PET/MR.

Patients may undergo a diagnostic MRI of the prostate, other body parts or a whole-body MRI at the same imaging session as clinically indicated.
