Abstract

Aim This study aims to assess the diagnostic performance of Ga-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/computed tomography in the comparison of planar bone scintigraphy in the detection of bone metastases. Another purpose is to define the additional benefit of bone scintigraphy subsequent to prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/computed tomography and the role of prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/computed tomography in the treatment planning.
