PSMA CT

PSMA CT (prostate-specific membrane antigen) and computed tomography. PSMA is a protein that is made in the prostate gland in men. High levels of PSMA in the blood can indicate prostate problems such as prostate cancer. Computed tomography (CT) is a diagnostic technique that uses X-rays to create three-dimensional images of internal organs. More complex and accurate diagnostics are also possible PET CT with PSMA.

In addition to diagnosis, PSMA values are used in PSMA radiotherapy.

This diagnostic method combines the measurement of PSMA levels in the blood combined with a CT scan of the prostate gland.

It is intended for men who have high levels of PSMA in the blood or suspected prostate cancer. This method can help detect the presence of prostate cancer, determine the stage and spread of the cancer, and help select the best method of treatment

.

The PSMA/CT procedure is as follows: the patient has blood drawn to analyze PSMA levels, followed by a CT scan of the prostate gland. The data from both tests are then combined to get a more accurate diagnosis.

Usually, the PSMA CT scan procedure is painless and takes about 30-40 minutes. After the procedure, the patient can return to their normal activities. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks and side effects that should be discussed with your doctor

PSMA is often confused with PSA. What is the difference between these two indicators?

PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen) and PSA (prostate specific antigen) are two different protein markers used to assess prostate function and to diagnose prostate disease.

PSA — is a protein antigen that is produced by the prostate gland. It helps the fluid of the seminal fluid gland become more fluid and mobile. PSA can be measured in a man’s blood and used to detect prostate diseases such as prostate cancer.

PSMA, on the other hand, is a protein antigen that is found in the cell membrane of prostatic epithelial cells. PSMA can also be measured in the blood and used to detect prostate cancer, but this test is usually more specific and sensitive than the PSA test.

Thus, PSMA and PSA are two different protein markers used to detect prostate cancer
