Prostat kanserinde Pozitron Emisyon Tomografisi/BilgisayarlıTomografi’ nin rolü

Prostat kanseri erkeklerde ikinci en sık görülen kanserdir. Evrelemede bilgisayarlı tomografi, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme, kemik sintigrafisi, Pozitron Emisyon Tomografi/Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (PET/BT) kullanılmaktadır. PET/BT ile görüntüleme için Flor-18 Florodeoksiglukoz, kolin, asetat gibi çeşitli radyofarmasötikler kullanılmaktadır. Bu makalede prostat kanserinde PET/BT’ nin rolünün açıklanması amaçlanmıştır.

The role of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in males. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging,bone scan, Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) is used for staging. A variety ofradiopharmaceuticals such as Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose, choline, acetate are used for PET/CT imaging. Thisarticle is aimed to describe the role of PET/CT in prostate cancer.
