PSMA Targeted PET Imaging of Prostate Cancer, An SNMMI Webinar - Frankis Almaguel & Michael Gorin

Details
In this Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) webinar Michael Gorin and Frankis Almaguel present on PSMA-targeted PET imaging of prostate cancer. Dr. Gorin kicks off the webinar by talking about the basics of PSMA targeted imaging, what the target is, where the need for molecular imaging testing in prostate cancer comes from, what led to their approval, and what agents are avai...

Appropriate Use Criteria for PSMA PET Imaging - Hossein Jadvar

Details
Phillip Koo is joined by Hossein Jadvar to discuss the Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for PSMA PET in prostate cancer. Dr. Jadvar, the first author of the publication, discusses the process of developing the AUC for PSMA PET in prostate cancer and reviews 11 clinical scenarios that may be encountered by ordering professionals when they want to consult the AUC for ordering their imaging. To guide r...

Imaging Prostate Cancer with F18 Fluciclovine PET - Neha Maithel & Isis Gayed

Details
In this educational video presentation from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), Drs Neha Maithel and Isis Gayed present on imaging in prostate cancer with a focus on F-18 Axumin® PET. Axumin (fluciclovine F 18) injection is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in men with suspected prostate cancer recurrence based on elevated blood prostate specific a...

Lutetium-177 PSMA: A Closer Look at Its Therapeutic Potential and Side Effects - Bennett Chin

Details
Bennett Chin discusses Lutetium-177 PSMA, an investigational class of targeted, radionuclide agents. The focus of this treatment is on Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), a molecule overexpressed on higher-grade prostate cancer cells. Lutetium-177 is a radioactive beta emitter that binds to PSMA, delivering highly targeted radiation therapy to prostate cancer cells. This emitter also has mi...

Imaging With Fluciclovine for Prostate Cancer - Bital Savir-Baruch

Details
In this educational video from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), Dr Bital Savir-Baruch, a nuclear medicine physician from Loyola University Medical Center, covers the limitation of conventional imaging for localized prostate cancer sites in patients with suspected disease recurrence, and the role of fluciclovine PET CT imaging in prostate cancer recurrence. Biographies...

PSMA Theranostics in Prostate Cancer SNMMI - Richard Baum

Details
In this lecture, Richard Baum presents the development and practices of the Theranostic Imaging Center in Bad Berka, Germany where he focuses on the use of screening methods to promote "precision oncology". He highlights the use of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) for prostate cancer. Imaging for PSMA allows doctors to properly assign patients to therapy responses using predictive measure...
