Early static imaging additional to 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET images acquired 60 min p.i. has limited value in patients prepared with furosemide and hydration, and showed no statistically significant change in the detection rate (DR) of LR and the number of equivocal findings. Based on our results, in departments following a protocol with forced diuresis, including furosemide, additional early static imaging cannot be routinely recommended for the assessment of BR in PCa patients.
