Impact of pelvic dynamic acquisition on final reading of 18 F-Fluorocholine positron emission tomography in patients with prostate adenocarcinoma: True need or unnecessary burden?

The dynamic phase changes the interpretation of 18 F-FCH PET in about 9% of cases and the therapeutic strategy in <3% of patients. The influence of the early phase reduces with physician experience. Patient's treatment profile does not appear to have a significant influence on the variability of interpretation, also including the prostate bed.
