Combination of Forced Diuresis with Additional Late Imaging in 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT: Effects on Lesion Visibility and Radiotracer Uptake

Conclusion: Although the combination of diuretics and hydration can be a useful method to increase the visualization and detectability of locally recurrent prostate cancer in standard 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, their effects do not sufficiently continue into additional late imaging. Additional diuresis and hydration are recommended to improve the visibility, detection, and diagnostic certainty of local recurrences.
