Diagnostic Imaging's Top Five Prostate Imaging Content of 2023

Currently in a phase I trial for solid prostate cancer tumors, the deoxycytidine kinase inhibitor TRE-515 garnered the fast track designation for possible combination use with Pluvicto in treating mCRPC.

The HCPCS level II code A9616 goes into effect on October 1 for the PSMA PET preparation kit, which received FDA approval in March.

The additional indication for the preparation kit of gallium Ga-68 gozetotide may facilitate earlier use of PSMA-targeted treatment for men with prostate cancer.

The use of adjunctive AI in biparametric prostate MRI exams led to 3.3 percent and 3.4 percent increases in the AUC and specificity, respectively, for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in a 360-person cohort drawn from 53 facilities.

Offering an extended shelf life, the FDA-approved Gozellix, a preparation kit for gallium-68 (68Ga) gozetotide injection, is indicated for use in PSMA PET imaging of prostate cancer patients with suspected recurrence or metastasis.

Emerging research showed that AI-generated ADC mapping from MRI led to significant increases in accuracy, PPV and specificity in comparison to conventional ADC mapping while achieving a 93 percent sensitivity for PCa.
