Ga PSMA-11 PET/CT brain imaging is a potentially useful imaging tool in the evaluation of brain lesions. Absence of physiological uptake of Ga PSMA-11 in the normal brain parenchyma results in high TBR values and consequently better visualization of metabolically active disease in brain.

In the evaluation of gliomas, Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT brain imaging is a potentially useful imaging tool. The use of Ga-PSMA-11 brain PET/CT in evaluation of recurrent glioma seems promising. Absence of physiological uptake of Ga-PSMA-11 in the normal brain parenchyma results in high TBR values and consequently better visualization of glioma lesions.

65-year-old man with left-sided pelvic pain on evaluation was found to have features suggestive of either Paget disease or prostatic bone metastasis of the left hemipelvis based on Tc-MDP bone scan and MRI. Ga-PSMA PET/CT to assess the possibility of primary prostate cancer and if present to stage it helped to rule out prostate cancer because of absence of focal abnormal increased tracer uptake in the prostate gland. However, false-positive tracer uptake was noted in the left hemipelvis, which was subject to biopsy and histopathologically proven to be Paget disease involvement.

We describe a case of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma with intensely tracer concentrating lesions in left suprarenal region, mediastinal lymph nodes, lytic bone lesions, thyroid nodules, and mild abnormal tracer-avid lung nodules in Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT. On the other hand F-FDG PET/CT showed mild to no significant abnormal uptake in these lesions. Complimentary uptake pattern was observed in Ga-PSMA and F-FDG PET images in thyroid lesions and D5 vertebral lesion. This case highlights the possibilities of imaging clear cell renal cell carcinoma with Ga-PSMA and opens the possibility of treatment with Lu-PSMA.

The potential applications of Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT in the imaging of prostate cancer are now well established. A few case reports regarding the potential use of Ga-PSMA PET/CT in nonprostate cancer malignancies are also published. Apparently, the tumor neoangiogenesis is the mechanism attributed to increased Ga-PSMA uptake in the tumor sites in nonprostatic malignancies. We describe the use of Ga-PSMA PET/CT in imaging multiple myeloma. The intense Ga-PSMA avidity of the lesions also opens up the possibility of theranostics with Lu-PSMA.
