Figure 1

Elements recommended for determining likelihood of prostate cancer in given lesions (identified by arrows). (a) Comparison of fluciclovine uptake in nonosseous lesions to background; this is a para-aortic lymph node on fused axial image (left) and CT (right). (b) Lesion located at typical site of prostate cancer recurrence in the prostate gland in a patient given radiotherapy as initial definitive treatment (left image is axial fused and right image is corresponding CT). (c) Lesion located at typical site in lymph nodes (left image is axial fused, middle image is sagittal, and right image is coronal view). (d) Lesions located at atypical site for prostate cancer (lymph nodes). (e) Bone lesions as seen on an MIP image.
