So in this case we're going to be starting with the rotib
0:03
as always looking through for our physiological uptake
0:06
and focusing on the prostate.
0:07
And we can see underneath the bladder
0:09
that there is this area
0:10
of focal intense uptake in the region of the prostate.
0:14
So immediately we wanna calibrate that with our fused data.
0:18
So tumor nodes, metastases, we are gonna start
0:21
with the primary site, which is prostate
0:24
and there is some hydrogel in sit here
0:25
with some fiducial markers coming through.
0:28
And here we've got this intense focal uptake.
0:31
So I could put an SUV measurement on there.
0:33
I estimate it to be greater than 12.
0:35
So we put thinking about a primary score
0:37
if that's what we were doing.
0:38
Um, it's in the um, the central gland kind
0:41
of almost at the anterior fibromuscular stroma.
0:44
Um, and it's to the right of the midline.
0:46
So it is actually kind
0:47
of these midline lesions are really important
0:49
to think about their location
0:50
because if the ureter is there in the middle, um, it's it
0:54
consideration for our radiation oncology, um,
0:56
colleagues when they contour these for therapy,
0:58
I would probably describe this one
1:00
as focal intense uptake in the
1:04
prostate apex anteriorly to the right of the midline,
1:07
but crossing the midline to the left.
1:10
Um, and then I say there's my heterogeneous uptake elsewhere
1:12
or I might just not mention it at all.
1:14
And this kind of is this kind
1:16
of pattern up here at the base, you know,
1:17
it's benign symmetrical, it's sparing the peripheral gland.
1:20
I'm not too concerned about it.
1:22
So I'm happy that this is a primary tumor.
1:24
If I had an MR, I would be correlating with those results
1:27
and then I'd be looking through systematically
1:30
through the lymph nodes, through the external iliac
1:32
following those vessels up, really interrogating
1:34
those pelvic sidewalls.
1:35
And interestingly in this one, this is the ureter here.
1:38
I can see there's bright contrast in it.
1:39
There's some mild non-specific uptake there correlating
1:41
with this lymph node here.
1:43
And I would probably describe that in my report mildly avid.
1:46
Considered non-specific. I wouldn't say any uptake equals
1:49
and involve lymph node.
1:51
I think that would be over calling a lot of lymph nodes
1:53
because we do know that PSMA uptake can be seen in some
1:56
reactive pathology
1:58
and coming all the way up looking
2:00
through the retroperitoneum.
2:02
And then I'd be systematically looking
2:03
through then adjusting my liver
2:05
and looking through the skeleton for science
2:06
of metastatic disease, which were not present on this study.
