When PS scintigraphy is performed, SPECT/CT is recommended. However, the lack of SPECT/CT capabilities should not preclude the use of PS in the presence of limited resources, as both planar and SPECT imaging are adequate and will correctly stage most PCa patients. Furthermore, time-based optimisations are achievable by limiting the FOV to exclude the distal lower limbs.
