Comparison of PSMA-ligand PET/CT and multiparametric MRI for the detection of recurrent prostate cancer in the pelvis.

CONCLUSIONS: PSMA-PET/CT detected more pelvic lesions characteristic for rPC when compared to MRI. In order to detect rPC, a potential future scenario could be conducting first a PSMA-PET/CT. Combining the advantages of both modalities in hybrid PET/MRI scanners would be an ideal future scenario.
