This study investigated the added value of using maximum-intensity projection (MIP) images for fully automatic segmentation of lesions using deep learning (DL) in [F]FDG and [Ga]Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT scans. We used 489 ...
OBJECTIVE: Prostate cancer (PCa) is highly heterogeneous, making early detection of adverse pathological features crucial for improving patient outcomes. This study aims to predict PCa aggressiveness and identify radiomic and protein biomarkers assoc...
PURPOSE: This study demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of using a deep learning-based approach for attenuation correction in [ 68 Ga]Ga-PSMA PET scans.

PURPOSE: The automatic segmentation and detection of prostate cancer (PC) lesions throughout the body are extremely challenging due to the lesions' complexity and variability in appearance, shape, and location. In this study, we investigated the perf...
BACKGROUND: Extended pelvic nodal dissection (ePLND) represents the gold standard for nodal staging in prostate cancer (PCa). Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioguided surgery (RGS) could identify lymph node invasion (LNI) during robot-as...
OBJECTIVE: The feasibility of tracer production of technetium (Tc)-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-I&S sterile cold kit, imaging with single photon emission tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT), and Tc-PSMA-radioguided robot-assisted l...

Accurate delineation of the intraprostatic gross tumor volume (GTV) is a prerequisite for treatment approaches in patients with primary prostate cancer (PCa). Prostate-specific membrane antigen PET (PSMA PET) may outperform MRI in GTV detection. Howe...
Lymphatic spread determines treatment decisions in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT can be performed, although cost remains high and availability is limited. Therefore, computed tomography (CT) continues to be the most used modality f...
