We describe the imaging features of a metastatic superscan on gallium-68 Glu-NH-CO-NH-Lys-(Ahx)-[Ga-68(HBED-CC)], abbreviated as gallium-68-prostate-specific membrane antigen ( 68 Ga-PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging. 68 Ga-PSMA is novel radiotracer undergoing evaluation for PET/CT imaging of prostate carcinoma. This patient had a superscan of metastases on conventional bone scintigraphy and was referred for 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT to evaluate the feasibility of 177 Lu-PSMA therapy. |
