Popis: Background: The sensitivity and specificity of bone scintigraphy and thoraco-abdominopelvic CT scans traditionally used for the staging of prostate cancer don’t meet clinical requirements. In 2020 18F-JK-PSMA-7 positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) became available in our country for routine clinical diagnostics. Methods: As part of our self-assessment, we retrospectively analysed the results of 24 PSMA PET-CTs realised for our patients up to 31 December 2020. Results: The indication of the examination was biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy (prostate specific antigen (PSA) >0.2 ng/mL) for 16 patients and primary staging (PSA range: 5.2–70 ng/mL) for 8 patients. Biochemical recurrence was related to local relapse in 2 cases, regional lymph node involvement in 5 cases, oligo- and multi-metastatic spread in 1 and 3 cases respectively. 5 patients had no detectable lesion. Patients with PSA
