Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Choline C 11 Injection is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of patients with suspected prostate cancer recurrence and non-informative bone scintigraphy, computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

In these patients, 11 C-choline PET imaging may help identify potential sites of prostate cancer recurrence for subsequent histologic confirmation.

In clinical studies, images were produced with PET/CT coregistration.

Limitation of U se: 11 C-choline PET imaging is not a replacement for histologic verification of recurrent prostate cancer.
