Localization of radio-recurrence within the prostate: anti-3-18F-FACBC PET/CT compared with multiparametric MRI using histopathology as reference standard.

CONCLUSIONS: FACBC PET/CT detected fewer histological verified radio-recurrences within the prostate than mpMRI. In accordance with previous studies, we found that the limitations of FACBC PET were small tumor amounts and uptake in hyperplastic benign tissue. PMID: 30379559 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
