Purpose

Accurate diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer are crucial to improving patient care. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging has demonstrated superiority for initial staging and restaging in patients with prostate cancer. Referring physicians and PET/CT readers must agree on a consistent communication method and application of information derived from this imaging modality. While several guidelines have been published, a single PSMA PET/CT reporting template has yet to be widely adopted. Based on the consensus from community and academic physicians, we developed a standardized PSMA PET/CT reporting template for radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians to report and relay key imaging findings to referring physicians. The aim was to improve the quality, clarity, and utility of imaging results reporting to facilitate patient management decisions.

Methods

Based on community and expert consensus, we developed a standardized PSMA PET/CT reporting template to deliver key imaging findings to referring clinicians.

Results

Core category components proposed include a summary of any prior treatment history; presence, location, and degree of PSMA radiopharmaceutical uptake in primary and/or metastatic tumor(s), lesions with no uptake, and incidentally found lesions with positive uptake on PET/CT.

Conclusions

This article provides recommendations on best practices for standardized reporting of PSMA PET/CT imaging. The generated reporting template is a proposed supplement designed to educate and improve data communication between imaging experts and referring physicians.

PSMA PET/CT 扫描临床报告的标准化模板

目的

前列腺癌的准确诊断和分期对于改善患者护理至关重要。前列腺特异性膜抗原 (PSMA) 靶向正电子发射断层扫描与计算机断层扫描 (PET/CT) 成像已证明在前列腺癌患者的初始分期和再分期方面具有优越性。转诊医生和 PET/CT 读者必须就一致的沟通方法以及从这种成像方式获得的信息的应用达成一致。虽然已经发布了多项指南，但单一的 PSMA PET/CT 报告模板尚未得到广泛采用。根据社区和学术医生的共识，我们开发了标准化的 PSMA PET/CT 报告模板，供放射科医生和核医学医生向转诊医生报告和转发关键影像发现。目的是提高成像结果报告的质量、清晰度和实用性，以促进患者管理决策。
