PET/CT scanning in patients with prostate cancer

Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most common malignant tumours in men. Screening for prostate cancer, including its recurrence

or metastases, using conventional imaging techniques is usually relatively poorly sensitive. Fluorodeoxyglucose, the most widely

used radiopharmaceutical for positron emission tomography (PET), also exhibits low sensitivity for detecting prostate cancer. Fluorine-

labelled choline (FCH) that is especially sensitive in detecting bone and soft-tissue metastases of prostate cancer is currently

available in the Czech Republic and is thus becoming a major diagnostic tool, particularly in evaluating the relapse of prostate cancer.

Keywords: PET, CT, prostate cancer, 18F-fluoromethylcholine
