There is a lot of talk about doing away with Bone and CT Scans and going all-in with PSMA PET...but this podcast from the EU says not so fast...it appears that Bone and CT Scans have their place and are accurate predictors of progression, OS and other factors...take a listen...before my RP I got both a Bone and CT scan plus a PSMA PET (in that order)...it appears both traditional and NGI (next gen imaging) have their place.
