Accurate knowledge of the biodistribution of 18F-choline is essential for the correct interpretation of PET/CT imaging. CT enables differentiation of physiological bowel activity and 18F-choline excretion in the ureters. In our series, 18F-choline uptake in benign pathological conditions mainly included sites of inflammation; nevertheless, accumulation in tumour deposits not because PC cannot be excluded, particularly in the brain, where correlative imaging with magnetic resonance is of the utmost importance.

Three Tesla DTI of the prostate gland is feasible and has the potential for providing improved diagnostic information.

The combination of MRSI and MRI provides a significantly higher specificity in the detection of tumours as compared with MRI alone and can be recommended as a problem-solving modality before biopsy in patients with high PSA levels and suspicious TRUS.
