Article Title: Best Practices for F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Imaging of Recurrent Prostate Cancer: A Guide for Technologists.
Abstract: F-fluciclovine is a Food and Drug Administration-approved PET tracer indicated for patients suspected to have recurrent prostate cancer based on a prostate-specific antigen rise after prior therapy. F-fluciclovine PET/CT is performed significantly differently from F-FDG PET/CT and requires special attention to patient preparation, injection technique, and imaging time. This article aims to provide nuclear medicine technologists with the best-practice guidelines for the F-fluciclovine PET/CT protocol.
