Scanning examinations for diagnosing prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men in Hong Kong. MRI and PET/CT scans are the key imaging examinations for diagnosing prostate cancer. MRI scan demonstrates the structure of prostate gland, while PSMA PET/CT shows the extent of local and metastasis status of prostate cancer.

Below image shows the same patient undergoing FDG and PSMA PET/CT scans respectively. The result shows PSMA PET scan can reveal more precise information of the status of prostate cancer than FDG PET scan.

Meanwhile, the revolutionary PET/MR scan combines the features and benefits of MRI and PET/CT in one examination. With the use of PSMA, PET/MR shows even higher clinical diagnostic accuracy in prostate cancer detection and localization.
