Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Ga-PSMA PET/CT. The aim of this study was to directly compare these two techniques in patients with prostate cancer. METHODS: Tc-PSMA. Images were interpreted independently and the results of each imaging were recorded. RESULTS: Tc-PSMA scan. Interestingly, no patient with PSA level of >2.1 ng/ml had discordant result between two sets of images. CONCLUSION: Tc-PSMA SPECT/CT. Detection rate was not significantly different between two techniques in patients with PSA levels>2.1 ng/ml.
