Figure Lengend Snippet: 68 Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) maximum intensity projection PET images (mCT, Siemens) of a patient with metastasized prostate cancer. PSMA uptake is visible in the prostate and four metastases (two lesions in the acetabulum ( right ), and two para-iliac lymph nodes ( left and right )). All images were reconstructed with a transaxial matrix size of 256 × 256, pixel size of 3.1 × 3.1 mm 2 . ( a ) PET reconstruction without PSF modeling and without TOF, ( b ) PET reconstruction with PSF modeling and without TOF, and ( c ) a PET reconstruction with both PSF modeling and TOF (data are from Radboudumc, Nijmegen, The Netherlands)
Article Snippet: Apparently, this is not hampered by the higher positron energy and larger range for 68 Ga versus 18 F. Fig. 1 68 Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) maximum intensity projection PET images (mCT, Siemens) of a patient with metastasized prostate cancer.
