The patients were not specially prepped on the day of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT scanning. A Biograph mCT-64 scanner (Siemens, Germany) was used. The scanning was performed about 180 min (14 (link)) after intravenous injection of 18F-PSMA-1007. The localizer was positioned with a scout head view. Low-dose CT (120 kV/110 mA) was then performed for anatomical localization and attenuation correction. Single-bed emission scans were obtained in three-dimensional mode (acquisition time, 3 min). Reconstruction of data was done using an ordered subset expectation maximization iterative reconstruction algorithm (three iterations, 21 subsets). The emission data were corrected for random, scatter, and decay.
