| Main Objective: Aim of the study is to evaluate the role of [18F]Fluorocholine PET/CT: -in the assessment of suspected recurrence of prostate cancer after treatment in patients with elevated PSA-level -in the detection of prostate cancer in patients with elevated PSA-level and negative prostate needle;Secondary Objective: 1. To evaluate accuracy of [18F]FCH PET/CT in localizing prostate cancer or detecting recurrence of the disease in comparison with radiological imaging techniques (CT, MRI); 2. To develop standardized protocols for PET/CT imaging, tracer uptake evaluation and equipe training.;Primary end point(s): Aim of the study is to evaluate the role of [18F]Fluorocholine PET/CT: -in the assessment of suspected recurrence of prostate cancer after treatment in patients with elevated PSA-level -in the detection of prostate cancer in patients with elevated PSA-level and negative prostate needle | — |
