Summary
Gallium-68 PSMA PET/MRI identified recurrent prostate cancer with bone metastases. Unexpected thyroid uptake led to diagnosis of Hurthle cell neoplasm and papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Nuclear Medicine
- Radiology
Background:
- Prostate carcinoma (PCa) recurrence often presents with elevated Prostate-specific antigen (PSA).
- PSMA PET imaging is a valuable tool for detecting recurrent PCa and metastases.
- Incidental findings on PSMA PET/MRI require careful evaluation.

7.8K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
