18F-Fluoroethylcholine PET/CT Identifies Lymph Node Metastasis in Patients with Prostate-Specific Antigen Failure After Radical Prostatectomy but Underestimates Its Extent

Abstract Background The detection of lymph node metastases (LNMs) is one of the biggest challenges in imaging in urology. Objective To evaluate the accuracy of combined 18F–fluoroethylcholine (FEC) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in the detection of LNMs in prostate cance...
