FIGURE 1. (A–D) Image analysis of 11C-choline PET/CT and histopathology. (A) Assessed cutting planes of prostate are indicated as dashed lines. (B) 11C-Choline PET/CT slice from middle third of prostate: corresponding transversal whole-gland section (hematoxylin and eosin). (C) Segmental allocation. (D) Scatter plot of 11C-choline maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of all 36 segments of this patient. Tumor stage was pT2a; 11C-choline PET/CT localized PCa correctly to left lower peripheral segment (arrow in B). Scatter plot in D shows higher 11C-choline SUVmax in segments with PCa than in those with benign histopathologic lesions.
