Imaging of Prostate Cancer Using 18F-Choline PET/Computed Tomography.

18F-fluorocholine (FCH) PET/computed tomography (CT) is a valuable imaging modality in prostate cancer disease. Probably, its main role is restaging of patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy or external beam radiotherapy. 18F-FCH PET/CT is strengthening its position in the initial staging, biopsy target definition, radiotherapy planning, and therapy monitoring. Gleason score and prostate-specific antigen value, doubling time, and velocity can influence positivity of 18F-FCH PET/CT. The influence of androgen deprivation therapy on choline uptake is not precisely clarified. Collaboration between nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, urologists, oncologists, and radiotherapists is crucial to help patients with prostate cancer disease.
