Recent studies reported metabolic uptake in at least one of the evaluated ganglia in 98.5% of patients undergoing Ga -PSMA-11 and in 96.9% of patients undergoing F-DCFPyL PET/CT examination. We have observed different patterns of ganglion visualization with F-DCFPyL compared to Ga-PSMA-11. This includes more frequent visualization of cervical and sacral ganglia, which may be attributable to better imaging characteristics with F PET imaging.
This pictorial essay is to illustrate and compare, in the same patient, various representative cases of Ga-PSMA-11 and F-DCFPyL PET/CT uptake in ganglia at different anatomic locations, with different patterns and distribution of metabolic activity.
Reading physicians should be aware of the frequently encountered and occasionally different physiologic uptake of Ga-PSMA-11 and F DCFPyL in different ganglia.
最近的研究报告称,在接受 Ga-PSMA-11 检查的患者中,有 98.5%至少有一个评估的神经节有代谢摄取,而在接受 F-DCFPyL PET/CT 检查的患者中,有 96.9%有代谢摄取。与 Ga-PSMA-11 相比,我们用 F-DCFPyL 观察到不同的神经节可视化模式。这包括更频繁地观察到颈神经节和骶神经节,这可能归因于 F PET 成像的更好的成像特性。
本影像学文章旨在比较同一位患者在不同解剖部位的 Ga-PSMA-11 和 F-DCFPyL PET/CT 摄取的不同代表性病例,以说明和比较神经节代谢活性的不同模式和分布。
阅读医生应该意识到 Ga-PSMA-11 和 F-DCFPyL 在不同神经节中经常遇到的、偶尔不同的生理性摄取。
