Popis: The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of (18)F-DCFBC PET/CT, a first-generation (18)F-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)–targeted agent, and (18)F-NaF PET/CT, a sensitive marker of osteoblastic activity, in a prospective cohort of patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Methods: Twenty-eight prostate cancer patients with metastatic disease on conventional imaging prospectively received up to 4 PET/CT scans. All patients completed baseline (18)F-DCFBC PET/CT and (18)F-NaF PET/CT scans, and 23 patients completed follow-up imaging, with a median follow-up interval of 5.7 mo (range, 4.2–12.6 mo). Lesion detection was compared across the 2 PET/CT agents at each time point. Detection and SUV characteristics of each PET/CT agent were compared with serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and treatment status at the time of baseline imaging using nonparametric statistical testing (Spearman correlation, Wilcoxon rank). Results: Twenty-six patients had metastatic disease detected on (18)F-NaF or (18)F-DCFBC at baseline, and 2 patients were negative on both scans. Three patients demonstrated soft tissue–only disease. Of 241 lesions detected at baseline, 56 were soft-tissue lesions identified by (18)F-DCFBC only and 185 bone lesions detected on (18)F-NaF or (18)F-DCFBC. (18)F-NaF detected significantly more bone lesions than (18)F-DCFBC (P < 0.001). Correlation of PSA with patient-level SUV metrics was strong in (18)F-DCFBC (ρ > 0.5, P < 0.01) and poor in (18)F-NaF (ρ < 0.3, P > 0.1). When PSA levels were combined with treatment status, patients with below-median levels of PSA (
