Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

400
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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Nuclear Medicine

Background:

  • Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET is crucial for prostate cancer management.
  • Interpreting indeterminate bone and lymph node lesions on PSMA-PET remains a clinical challenge.
  • Existing interpretation systems like PSMA-RADS and PROMISE V2 have limitations in addressing equivocal findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop, implement, and evaluate a multidisciplinary consensus algorithm for interpreting indeterminate bone and lymph node lesions on PSMA-PET.
  • To integrate multimodality imaging and clinicopathological information into a standardized interpretation framework.
  • To compare the algorithm's performance against existing scoring systems and a reference standard.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective single-center study of a prospectively implemented algorithm.
  • Inclusion of consecutive prostate cancer patients discussed at a multidisciplinary tumor board (MDT) for indeterminate PSMA-PET findings.
  • Development of a suspicion-level algorithm incorporating lesion location, conventional imaging, PSMA-PET characteristics, and clinicopathological data.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm classified lesions as benign (48.1%), equivocal (4.9%), metastasis (40.7%), or mixed (6.2%).
  • High accuracy of 94.1% was achieved when compared against a composite reference standard.
  • The algorithm demonstrated significantly lower rates of equivocal interpretations (4.9%) compared to PSMA-RADS (53.1%) and PROMISE V2 (64.2%).

Conclusions:

  • A multidisciplinary consensus algorithm effectively interprets indeterminate bone and lymph node lesions on PSMA-PET.
  • Integration of clinicopathological information and multimodality imaging within an MDT setting reduces equivocal interpretations.
  • This algorithm shows potential for improving diagnostic accuracy and guiding management decisions in prostate cancer staging.
