Prostate Cancer Patients and PET/CT: Comparing and Contrasting 18F-FDG and18F-Fluciclovine
Conclusion: Our study showed that for this single institution, scheduling is more difficult for 18F-Fluciclovine since their radiopharmacy is several hours away. This department can perform more studies per day with 18F-FDG. If another institution is closer to a radiopharmacy that provides 18F-Fluciclovine, they may be able to accommodate more patients per day. 18F-Fluciclovine patients can be scheduled every 40-45 minutes without the hour and a half uptake time.
