About 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT Scan68Ga-PSMA PET/CT Scan
A 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT Scan is an advanced nuclear medicine imaging test used primarily for detecting prostate cancer. It involves injecting a radiotracer called Gallium-68 labeled Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (68Ga-PSMA) into the bloodstream. PSMA is a protein highly expressed on prostate cancer cells, and the radiotracer binds to these cells. A PET scanner detects the gamma rays emitted by the tracer, while a CT scanner provides detailed anatomical images. This combined imaging technique offers high sensitivity and specificity for locating prostate cancer lesions, aiding in diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning.
