PSMA Pet Scan

Can this scan pick up old injuries in spine? Or does it only show prostate cancer? Had a mild uptake in T10.

  1. Hi . Sorry you are having these spinal issues. Unfortunately, the PSMA is specifically for prostate cancer. As noted in this article on the scan, it "targets a specific molecule that is commonly present on the surface of prostate cancer cells" https://prostatecancer.net/clinical/psma-imaging-scan. Wishing you the best in getting the proper diagnostics for your back. Richard (ProstateCancer.net Team)
