Gallium-68 PSMA-11 PET Imaging in Prostate Cancer Patients

Patients will be imaged using Ga-68 labeled PSMA-11 PET to determine if there is presence of metastatic disease. Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) is a protein expressed on prostate cancer cells that can be imaged using small molecules that target this protocol.

Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session

A PET/MRI scan is a two-in-one test that combines images from a positron emission tomography (PET) scan and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in a single session
