What is a PSMA PET/CT Scan?
Uses Of FDG PET/CT Scan
- Prostate Cancer Detection: PSMA PET/CT scans are highly sensitive in detecting primary prostate tumors, as well as metastases to lymph nodes, bones, and other organs.
- Prostate Cancer Staging : PSMA PET/CT aids in accurately staging prostate cancer by assessing the extent of disease spread beyond the prostate gland.
- Prostate Cancer Recurrence: PSMA PET/CT is valuable in detecting recurrent prostate cancer after initial treatment, even at low PSA levels
- Treatment Response Assessment : PSMA PET/CT helps evaluate the response to prostate cancer treatments, such as surgery, radiation therapy, or hormone therapy
- Treatment Planning : PSMA PET/CT guides treatment planning by providing precise localization of prostate cancer lesions, facilitating targeted therapies and minimizing side effects
- Research & Clinical Trials : PSMA PET-CT imaging plays a vital role in prostate cancer research & clinical trials, facilitating the evaluation of new treatments & providing comprehensive insights of the disease
What to Expect During The Procedure Of PSMA Scan in Bangalore
- Preparation: Patients may need to follow specific instructions, such as fasting or medication adjustments, before the scan
- Scan: The patient lies on a scanner table, which moves through the PET and CT scanners. It s essential to remain still during the scan for clear images
- Post-Scan: After the scan, patients can resume their normal activities. Specific instructions may be provided based on the type of scan and tracer used
- Safety and Risks: PSMA PET/CT scans involve exposure to radiation from the tracer, but the benefits typically outweigh the risks.
