Özet
With the increase in the diagnosis of the cancer, the frequency of using imaging methods for diagnosis and for staging is also increased. Because of the complex structure of cancer and tumor behavior, the assessment methods have been updated and metabolic imaging has gained weight. The most popular of these techniques is hybrid positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) systems. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in the world, is the fifth common type in cancer-related male deaths. Estimation of prognosis and treatment planning of the patients are based on the TNM classification. Bone metastasis is a prognostic factor of morbidity and mortality in prostate cancer. Sodium fluoride (NaF) PET/CT is a promising imaging modality in evaluation of skeletal system. This article will review the involvement of F-18-NaF in extra-osseous tissues in the prostate cancer and reveal the fundamental differences between F-18-NaF imaging and F-18-FDG imaging in these areas.
