Advanced Imaging for the Early Diagnosis of Local Recurrence Prostate Cancer after Radical Prostatectomy

Figure 1

Ch-PET/CT images of a 73-year-old patient with biochemical failure (PSA serum value 2.1 ng/mL) after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer with a metastatic lesion at the right ischiopubic branch. (A, E, and F) Whole body coronal PET images showing an uptake of the radiotracer at the level of the right ischiopubic branch. No uptake at the lymph node stations and at the level of the postprostatectomy bed was found. (B) Axial morphological CT image of the pelvis displaying a hypodense nodular lesion at the level of the right ischiopubic branch. (C) Sagittal and (E) coronal fused PET-CT images showing the uptake of the radiotracer at the level of the right ischiopubic branch.
