Image Interpretation
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INTERPRETING IMAGES MADE USING LOCAMETZ FOLLOW CURRENT NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES
Information for image interpretation
LOCAMETZ binds to PSMA. Based on the intensity of the signals, PSMA PET images obtained with gallium Ga 68 gozetotide indicate the presence of PSMA protein in tissue3
Descriptions of location, extent, and intensity of PSMA ligand uptake are addressed in the most current SNMMI and EANM guidelines on prostate cancer imaging with gallium Ga 68 gozetotide2
Image interpretation errors can occur with LOCAMETZ PET. Read more on the Risk for Misinterpretation warning within the Important Safety Information
