TABLE 2.

11C-Choline PET/CT Findings Compared with Histology Results

Site TP FP TN FN
Local 13 4 (2 MRI suggesting local recurrence, PSA < 0.05 after salvage radiotherapy [biopsy FN?], 1 with new biopsy planned but not performed for medical reasons and 1 FP without doubt) 3 2
Pelvic lymph node 24 2 (1 perirectal lymph node [possibly FN biopsy; remained on later PSMA PET after salvage pelvic LND and PSA still elevated], 1 FP PSA measurement) 7 1
Bone 9 3 (1 myeloma, 1 benign acetabular lesion, 1 with later imaging positive for bone metastases [possibly FN biopsy]) 2 0
Extrapelvic lymph node 1 0 1 0
Lung 1 0 3 (correctly recognized as not due to PCa: 1 lung primary, 2 inflammatory nodules) 0
Neural 1 (neural foramen) 0 0 0

TP = true-positive; FP = false-positive; TN = true-negative; FN = false-negative.

67 patients and 77 sites were biopsied. Of 67 patients, 49 had at least 1 PCa-positive biopsy site.
