Combination of forced diuresis with additional late imaging in 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT - effects on lesion visibility and radiotracer uptake.

Purpose: Renal excretion of some prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-ligands and consequently increased bladder activity can obscure locally relapsing prostate cancer (PC) lesions in PSMA-PET/CT.

Comparison of quality of urinary bladder filling in CT urography with different doses of furosemide in the work-up of patients with macroscopic hematuria.

The protocol for preparation of computed tomography urography (CTU) examinations at our hospital was changed in 2013 to improve the quality of urinary bladder filling in the excretory phase. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of urinary bladder filling on CTU after different doses of furosemide were administered to patients with macroscopic hematuria.

Impact of forced diuresis with furosemide and hydration on the halo artefact and intensity of tracer accumulation in the urinary bladder and kidneys on [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11-PET/CT in the evaluation of prostate cancer patients.

to assess the influence of intravenous hydration and forced diuresis with furosemide in two different dosages (20 vs 40 mg) on the intensity of tracer accumulation in the urinary collection system and on the occurrence of halo artefact surrounding the urinary bladder and kidneys in [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11-PET/CT scans.
