Revisiting Skull Metastases of Prostate Cancer at Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Era: PSMA Uptake Characteristics and Oncological Outcomes
The majority of PSMA-detected skull metastases did not show a CT counterpart, which may explain why skull metastases were rarely detected before the PSMA PET-era. In high-volume metastatic prostatic cancer cases, 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging field including the vertex, may enhance the accuracy in detecting tumor extent and metabolic tumor volume.
