EANM and SNMMI have updated their joint PSMA PET/CT procedure guideline for prostate cancer imaging with the most recent information. “This guideline supports physicians in recommending, acquiring, interpreting and reporting the results of PSMA-ligand PET/CT for initial diagnosis, staging and restaging of prostate cancer. … This document reports on patient selection, PET/CT acquisition, image interpretation and written summary of the clinical report. Specific advice is given for the most common PSMA radioligands available and for clinical scenarios with frequent use of PET/CT, including staging, restaging and assessment for suitability of PSMA RLT.”
