Résumé

Despite the increasing use of F-fluorocholine ( F-FCH) positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with prostate cancer, the acquisition protocol remains debated. We have evaluated the influence of the pelvic dynamic phase on the final reading of whole-body F-FCH PET, to assess the need for a two-stage protocol. Reading the physician's experience and patient's previous treatment profile was also considered as potential influencing factors on final PET interpretation.
