Ureteral Metastasis From Prostate Cancer: A PSMA PET Pitfall.

abstract：PURPOSE:This study assessed the value of a follow-up FDG PET scan when the initial PET demonstrated unexplained findings of focal FDG uptake in the abdomen. METHOD:The records of 3634 patients with PET scans were retrospectively reviewed. Those patients who had follow-up PET scans after the initial PET scan showed une...
