Why does PSMA Pet Scan show no evidence of mets? Missing something?

The fact that choline has not been used anywhere else in the USA is because it is not an effective PET scan is what I have heard.
There are much better options.
Heard a doctor PCRI said it’s not even worth doing that scan.
I still haven’t heard any reasoning why that scan is useful compared to Axumin, FDG or PSMA pet scans.

@jeffmarc Jeff, my partner will get a PSMA-PET at a community hospital late next month, where his general urologist is. If he gets treatment, will go to UCLA or UCSD or Cedars Sinai of course. But as far as PSMA-PET scan, should we really care which isotope is used and let that in fact influence where the scan gets done?
