Had 3 PSMA PET scans all showed something compared to metastasized prostate cancer. Oncologist said that they (with me) were not particularly useful. The Urologist scheduled them. What the Oncologist liked were C T scans in the chest and abdomen areas. Provided more info.

Wow,that’s the first I’ve heard of any CT scan helping more than a PSMA PET scan.

Everything I have read states PSMA PET is the gold standard for identifying micro cells with PSA levels 0.3-0.5.. CT Scans are also subject to the quality of the interpretation of human, I was having an CT for an hernia and the qualified personnel actually stated my prostate was of normal size 8 MONTHS post Radical Prostatectomy.
