PET/CT imaging with a new radiotracer (F-18 PSMA-1007) is superior to MRI prior to surgery in men with intermediate-risk and high-risk prostate cancer, according to a study published on July 1 in JAMA Oncology. In this phase II clinical trial, the researchers sought to evaluate the approach further.

In the trial, 30 patients with recurrent disease or metastatic prostate cancer underwent baseline conventional imaging (CT, MRI, or bone scan) and whole-body Ga-68 PSMA-R2 PET/CT between 20 minutes and four hours after injection. The radiotracer was developed in 2019 for use in theranostics, the authors noted.

Bones become more fragile and porous with age, so less force is needed to break their structure. While X-rays are typically utilized, an MRI or CT scan may be recommended. What Are Broken Bones? Ideal for assessing small fractures, the spinal cord, bone bruises and joint injuries, MRI technology provides more detail.
