@jsh327 thank you. Not sure if he had a 3t mri. I am also wondering whether a PMA pet scan would be a good choice for him as well.

Don’t have any experience of PSMA PET Scans for the primary PCa detection, but perhaps others on this forum do. I presume that her would have difficulty getting insurance to pay for it, but perhaps others either know or have ideas about this topic as well. I just read some reports that cited the use of PSMA PET Scans for primary PCa detection, but I believe the scans were used to detect spread outside of the prostate as information to be used for determining the initial treatment: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001299823000557
