%X BACKGROUND: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) can change management in a large fraction of patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (BCR).
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the added value of PET to MRI and CT for this patient group, and to explore whether the choice of the PET paired modality (PET/MRI vs. PET/CT) impacts detection rates and clinical management.
METHODS: Retrospective.
METHODS: 41 patients with BCR (median age [range]: 68 [55-78]).
UNASSIGNED: 3T, including T1-weighted gradient echo (GRE), T2-weighted turbo spin echo (TSE) and dynamic contrast-enhanced GRE sequences, diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging, and a T1-weighted TSE spine sequence. In addition to MRI, [18F]PSMA-1007 PET and low-dose CT were acquired on the same day.
RESULTS: Images were reported using a five-point Likert scale by two teams each consisting of a radiologist and a nuclear medicine physician. The radiologist performed a reading using CT and MRI data and a joint reading between radiologist and nuclear medicine physician was performed using MRI, CT, and PET from either PET/MRI or PET/CT. Findings were presented to an oncologist to create intended treatment plans. Intrareader and interreader agreement analysis was performed.
METHODS: McNemar test, Cohen's κ, and intraclass correlation coefficients. A P-value <0.05 was considered significant.
RESULTS: 7 patients had positive findings on MRI and CT, 22 patients on joint reading with PET/CT, and 18 patients joint reading with PET/MRI. For overall positivity, interreader agreement was poor for MR and CT (κ = 0.36) and almost perfect with addition of PET (PET/CT κ = 0.85, PET/MRI κ = 0.85). The addition of PET from PET/CT and PET/MRI changed intended treatment in 20 and 18 patients, respectively. Between joint readings, intended treatment was different for eight patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of [18F]PSMA-1007 PET/MRI or PET/CT to MRI and CT may increase detection rates, could reduce interreader variability, and may change intended treatment in half of patients with BCR.
METHODS: 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 3.
