PSA, MRI, Biopsy why doesn't PSMA Pet Scan

@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?

You frequently don’t get a choice between gallium 68 or pylarify, The place you were being treated uses one or the other. Pylarify (18F-DCFPyL) often provides better image quality and detail than Gallium-68 (Ga-68) PSMA-11 however.
