Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the prostate gland, which is part of the male reproductive system. It typically develops slowly, and while it may not cause symptoms in its early stages, it can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated.
Prostate imaging helps provide accurate diagnoses, assess the extent of prostate conditions, and guide treatment decisions.
Prostate MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides detailed, high-resolution images of the prostate gland to help detect and assess prostate cancer. It is particularly useful for identifying tumors, determining their size and location, and guiding biopsy or treatment planning.
PSMA PET/CT is an advanced imaging technique that uses a radioactive tracer targeting the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) to detect prostate cancer cells. It combines the high sensitivity of PET scanning with the anatomical detail of a CT scan, allowing for precise detection of prostate cancer, including recurrence or metastasis, and helping guide treatment decisions.
Prostate ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging procedure that uses sound waves to create real-time images of the prostate gland. It is commonly used to evaluate the size of the prostate and assess conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer.
