Ga-68-NODAGA-MJ9 Compared to F-18-FCH PET/CT for Prostate Cancer Patients
Overview
Prostate cancer patients for whom a F-18-FCH PET/CT is indicated. Ga-68-NODAGA-MJ9 is a new PET/CT radiotracer aiming at giving complementary information : more precise images and early localisation of recurrence to standard imaging
