Abstract
Imaging of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer to select patients suitable for peptide receptor radioligand therapy can be performed with both SPECT and PET PSMA radiotracers. Although PET radiotracers generally have higher sensitivity and spatial resolution, SPECT tracers can be an effective alternative when PET/CT systems are unavailable in the clinical setting. We present a case of a 43-year-old male, who was referred to our facility for workup for radioligand PSMA therapy. His Tc-99m PSMA images revealed diffuse bone infiltration in a pattern mimicking a bone scan.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (Nucl Med Mol Imaging) is an official journal of the Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine, which bimonthly publishes papers on February, April, June, August, October, and December about nuclear medicine and related sciences such as radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, dosimetry and pharmacokinetics / pharmacodynamics of radiopharmaceuticals, nuclear and molecular imaging analysis, nuclear and molecular imaging instrumentation, radiation biology and radionuclide therapy. The journal specially welcomes works of artificial intelligence applied to nuclear medicine. The journal will also welcome original works relating to molecular imaging research such as the development of molecular imaging probes, reporter imaging assays, imaging cell trafficking, imaging endo(exo)genous gene expression, and imaging signal transduction. Nucl Med Mol Imaging publishes the following types of papers: original articles, reviews, case reports, editorials, interesting images, and letters to the editor.
The Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine (KSNM)
KSNM is a scientific and professional organization founded in 1961 and a member of the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences of the Korean Medical Association which was established by The Medical Services Law. The aims of KSNM are the promotion of nuclear medicine and cooperation of each member. The business of KSNM includes holding academic meetings and symposia, the publication of journals and books, planning and research of promoting science and health, and training and qualification of nuclear medicine specialists.
