Nano-MRI outduels PSMA-PET/CT for prostate cancer
Clinicians looking to accurately classify suspicious lymph nodes in prostate cancer patients could have another effective noninvasive option with a unique contrast-enhanced MR imaging technique, according to a study published online on 30 January in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
February 11, 2021
One set of images (A) shows a 7-mm diameter lymph node that is positive on both nano-MRI and PSMA-PET/CT in a patient's left pararectal region. For comparison, the other set of images (B) shows a 4-mm diameter lymph node diagnosed as positive on nano-MRI (left) but negative on PSMA-PET/CT (right) with no Ga-68 PSMA tracer uptake in the region (green circle).
