Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) scanning is a sensitive method of prostate cancer detection.In a 71 y.o.man with a PSA of 49 Oven Halogen Lampholder (6%F), 4 negative MRI studies and 6 negative biopsies over an 8 year interval, a 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan showed a PSMA-avid spot in the prostate.Using image fusion technology, the lesion was target-biopsied and Gleason 3 + 4 = 7 Toaster Parts (cancer core length of 12 mm) was identified.
