Diagnostic Role of 18F-FECH-PET/CT Compared with Bone Scan in Evaluating the Prostate Cancer Patients Referring with Biochemical Recurrence
Figure 5
62-year old patient referred with PSA elevation and underwent both bone scan and 18F-FECHPET with interval of four days. ((a), (a1)) 18F-FECHPET (MIP) and coronal plane in the pelvis show a bone involvement in the pubis. ((b), (b1)) coronal and axial planes of CT thorax shows rib fracture. ((c), (c1)) bone scan (posterior view) and spot image of pelvis show bone metastases in the right pubis in addition to two hot spots in 6th and 7th rib in the right hemithorax corresponding with ribs fracture. By contrast, 18F-FECH-PET shows negative uptake in these fractures.
