Contribution of 5th minute and 2nd hour images to standard imaging in ( 68 Ga)PSMA 11 PET/CT

ConclusionIn conclusion, the 5th minute pelvic images in (68Ga)PSMA 11 PET/CT were helpful in visual evaluation of the prostate gland and bed, while 2nd hour images showed high SUVmax and TBR rates in malignant lesions. As the SUVmax values of benign lesions were found to be lower in the 2nd hour, when compared to the 1st hour, it was thought that the 2nd hour imaging could be used in the additional imaging for suspicious lesions without the need for very long waiting times.
