Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) PET Imaging
Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is one of the most advanced tools available for detecting and evaluating prostate cancer. United Regional offers this innovative imaging option to support earlier diagnosis and personalized care – close to home.
What is PSMA Pet Imaging?
PSMA is a protein commonly found on prostate cancer cells. By targeting this protein, PSMA PET imaging helps identify cancer activity that may not be visible with traditional imaging alone.
Benefits of PSMA PET imaging include:
- Earlier and more accurate detection of prostate cancer
- Improved visualization of cancer spread, including small or hard-to-detect areas
- More detailed information to support informed treatment planning
PSMA PET imaging is used alongside other proven imaging methods to give providers a clearer understanding of each patient’s needs.
Detecting Prostate Cancer with Greater Accuracy
Our experts use PET scan technology to pinpoint a buildup of PSMA which could be a sign of prostate cancer. This technology helps providers:
- Identify cancer recurrence
- Assess the extent of disease
- Make more confident treatment decisions
The detailed images produced by PSMA PET imaging support care plans tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
A physician order is required for PSMA PET imaging.
