Not Good News after prostate biospy when MRI didn't look too bad

@diverjer Posluma® is the newest of the 3 available PSMA PET scans. (The other two are Illuccix® (Gallium68) and PYLARIFY® (Piflufolastat).
They found an area of interest on your left posterior 5th rib, more likely scar tissue but worth following up on.
> Did they assign an SUVmax score to this area of interest?
The SUVmax score of the lesion in your prostate was 11.1.
> In the PSMA PET scan report, what were the SUVmax scores they assigned to your blood, liver, and parotid glands? They’ll compare your “SUVmax 11.1” score to those 3 SUVmax scores in order to grade it.

I posted the report they put on MyChart, no mention of blood, liver, and parotid glands. I would assume they only assign SUV score to something that had some uptake and these had no uptake.
Now sound like some uptake on rib, but no score. Maybe not enough to score, I don't know.
