@klein505 I’ve read that sometimes non-cancerous processes can cause mild PSMA uptake; for instance, nodes can occasionally show low-level uptake due to inflammation or infection.
How did those two SUVmax (maximum standardized uptake value) scores compare to the SUVmax values of his blood, liver, and parotid or lacrimal glands’ SUVmax expression?

Yes, I just read that other neoplastic calls can show uptake like follicular lymphoma etc., and of course inflammation or infection etc.
My husband's max SUV for parotid is 17.
Liver 4.0.
Blood 2.2
Forgot to answer to your question - his F18 was POSLUMA (??)
Nodes that are "iffy" have SUV 3 (8 x 7 mm) in the groin and one that is left external iliac SUV 3.3 ( 5 x 4 mm , was before 4 x 2 mm)
It is MIND boggling that something soooo tiny is so powerful and can kill a person : (((( eventually *sigh
