Diagnostic Value Of Retrospectively Fused (Cucl2)-Cu-64 Pet/Mri In Biochemical Relapse Of Prostate Cancer: Comparison With Fused F-18-Choline Pet/Mri, (64)Cucl2 Pet/Ct, F-18-Choline Pet/Ct, And Mpmri
ABDOMINAL RADIOLOGY(2020)
Abstract
Purpose To assess the diagnostic value of retrospectively fused PET/MRI by comparing the detection rates (DRs) of fused (CuCl2)-Cu-64 PET/MRI vs. fused F-18-Choline PET/MRI in patients with suspected prostatic cancer (PCa) recurrence. The secondary objective was to compare the DRs of fused PET/MRI vs. those of the separate imaging modalities. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 50 PCa patients with biochemical relapse after radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiotherapy (RT). All patients underwent (CuCl2)-Cu-64 PET/CT, F-18-Choline PET/CT, and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) within 15 days. Fused (CuCl2)-Cu-64-PET/MRI and fused F-18-Choline PET/MRI images were obtained by retrospective co-registration of MRI and PET images. Experienced readers interpreted the images, and the DRs of each imaging modality were assessed. Results In the patient-based analysis, overall DRs of fused (CuCl2)-Cu-64 PET/MRI, fused F-18-Choline PET/MRI, (CuCl2)-Cu-64 PET/CT, F-18-Choline PET/CT, and mpMRI were 88%, 68%, 82%, 56%, and 74%, respectively. In the lesion-based analysis, overall DRs of fused (CuCl2)-Cu-64 PET/MRI, fused F-18-Choline PET/MRI, (CuCl2)-Cu-64 PET/CT, (18) F-Choline PET/CT, and mpMRI were 95%, 66%, 87%, 58%, and 71%, respectively. Conclusions Retrospectively fused PET/MRI is able to overcome the limitations of the separate interpretation of the individual imaging modalities. Fused (CuCl2)-Cu-64 PET/MRI provided the highest diagnostic performance in the detection of PCa local relapse.
