Experience that helps you get the right diagnosis

Mayo Clinic radiologists are experienced in using PSMA PET scans and other imaging tests to accurately detect and monitor prostate cancer.

  • Expertise in nuclear imaging. Mayo Clinic campuses in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota have cyclotrons, PET radiochemistry laboratories and nuclear radiopharmacies, all of which are needed to properly handle and produce the tracers for PET imaging and other nuclear imaging tests. Each campus also has state-of-the-art scanners, including PET-CT, PET-MRI and SPECT-CT.
  • Experience interpreting PET scans. Mayo Clinic radiologists read and interpret thousands of PET scans each year. The radiologists who read PSMA PET scans use their experience with this imaging test to help them distinguish cancer from something that isn't cancer. Having an experienced radiologist on your team helps give you the most accurate diagnosis.
  • A history of innovation in prostate cancer imaging. Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, was the first medical center in the United States to receive approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to prepare and administer the imaging agent used in a choline C-11 PET scan. This PET scan tracer was the first one developed specifically for imaging prostate cancer.

If a PSMA PET scan detects metastatic prostate cancer, there are many treatment options. A caring team of experts at Mayo Clinic can explain your options and help you pick the treatment that's best for you.
