Abstract:
The (18)F-choline PET-CT (FCH) has better performance in the assessment of patients with prostate cancer than (18)F-FDG. However, similarly, it is also not a tumor specific radiotracer. We present four (18)F-FCH PET-CT scans in which false positive findings were correctly assessed after evaluation with CT, clinical parameters and/or histological analysis.
