概括
前列腺特异性膜抗原正子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描 (PSMA PET/CT) 可以准确地识别PI-RADS评分为5的男性的侵袭性前列腺癌,初始活检结果为阴性. 这种成像模式有助于避免不必要的活检,并指导临床管理.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
- 泌尿器科 泌尿器科 泌尿器科 泌尿器科
背景情况:
- 前列腺癌的诊断依赖于多参数MRI (mpMRI) 和活检.
- 具有PI-RADS评分5和阴性活检的男性需要进一步评估.
- 在这种特定的临床场景中,PSMA PET/CT的准确性需要评估.
研究的目的:
- 为了评估PSMA PET/CT在PI-RADS评分为5和前列腺活检阴性男性的诊断准确性.
- 确定PSMA PET/CT在鉴定临床显著前列腺癌 (csPCa) 中的实用性.
主要方法:
- 对180名PI-RADS评分为5的男性进行了回顾性分析,这些男性接受了系统性加上mpMRI/TRUS活检.
- 25名带有阴性活检的患者接受了随访,包括PSA,PSA密度,mpMRI和68Ga-PSMA PET/CT.
- 标准化吸收值最大值 (SUVmax) 被记录为PSMA PET/CT.
主要成果:
- 96%的阴性活检患者显示PSA和PSA密度下降,PI-RADS得分降至<3.
- 这些患者的SUVmax中位数为7.5.5.
- 一名患者 (4%) 的PSA升高,证实PI-RADS 5,高SUVmax (32) 和格里森得分9 PCa在重复活检.
结论:
- 密切跟踪和PSMA PET/CT帮助检测PI-RADS 5和阴性组织学男性遗漏的csPCa.
- 根据PSMA PET/CT协议与mpMRI降级 (PI-RADS<3) 降低了错过侵袭性前列腺癌的风险.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
91
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...

Positron Emission Tomography
4.2K
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...
