Bone Scintigraphy in the Era of PSMA PET: Point—Still a Valuable Tool and Not Yet Dead www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/...

Bone Scintigraphy in the Era of PSMA PET: Counterpoint—The Page Has Turned www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/...

PSMA PET can directly visualize PSMA expressing cancer cells, enabling earlier and more accurate detection of metastases. They also note bone scintigraphy’s lack of specificity can lead to false positive findings and an inability to detect nodal or visceral disease.

They say it serves as an essential predictive biomarker for selecting patients for 223Radichloride therapy, which requires evidence of osteoblastic disease. Bone scintigraphy is also less expensive and more widely available than PSMA PET, particularly in under-resourced areas.
