This pilot study of 12 prostate cancer patients
explores associations between metrics obtained
from PET/MRI incorporating dynamic 18F-FDG PET
imaging and biopsy findings. DCE-MRI and dynamic
PET were performed simultaneously following
sequential injections of gadolinium-chelate and
FDG. Dynamic PET data was reconstructed in
30-second bins for the first 5 minutes, followed
by 5-minute bins for the remainder of a
30-minute acquisition. Peak and 30-minute FDG
activity were determined from FDG
time-activity-curves and compared among benign
and low- and high-grade tumors. The peak FDG
activity showed the strongest association with
biopsy results, supporting the value of dynamic
PET imaging during PET/MRI.
