Spine metastases in prostate cancer: comparison of technetium‐99m‐ <scp>MDP</scp> whole‐body bone scintigraphy, [ ¹⁸ <scp>F</scp> ]choline positron emission tomography( <scp>PET</scp> )/computed tomography ( <scp>CT</scp> ) and [ ¹⁸ <scp>F</scp> ] <scp>NaF PET</scp> / <scp>CT</scp>

Abstract

We found that FCH-PET/CT and NaF-PET/CT were superior to WBS with regard to detection of prostate cancer bone metastases within the spine. The present results call into question the use of WBS as the method of choice in patients with hormone-naïve prostate cancer.
