This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and 5 years for reporting.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Accuracy for Prediction of Progression Free Survival as determined by Quantitative bone SPECT indices (QBSIs)
Secondary outcome measures
Ability of QBSPECT to detect recurrence of metastatic disease as determined by QBSI in 60 patients.
Accuracy of NaF PET/CT as determined by difference in QBSI from SPECT versus QBSI from NaF PET/CT in 20 patients
Accuracy of PSMA PET/CT as determined by difference in QBSI from SPECT versus QBSI from PSMA PET/CT in 20 patients
