Cost of PET scans in Germany and South Africa

[AlanLawrenson]

I am interested in finding the cost of a ga-68 Pet scan in Germany and South Africa.

Also the cost of Lutetium -177 Peptide Therapy in South Africa per cycle. I got no reply to my email to the University of Pretoria Nuclear Medicine Department. Do they do it elsewhere in RSA?

Germany seems to be at cutting edge of all this.

I had a ga 68 PSMA PET/CT at TUM (Munich) in 2016 and it cost 2900 euros about $ 3300. It is more expensive than getting the study done at UCLA ($ 2800).

Hello,

I was quoted 6900 Euros for the first round of Lutetium treatment in Germany. That included two PET scans one prior to treatment and one after.

What place in Germany? When I went to Munich in 2016, the cost of Lu 177 PSMA treatment was close to 10000 euros and the Ga68 PSMA PET/CT study was around 2900 euros. Other places in Germany that were willing to treat me with Lu 1777 PSMA asked around 11000 euros.

Hello tango,

I was communicating with the hospital at Homburg (not Hamburg) in the Saar region of Germany.

Hi: For the cost in Ecuador just go to gringopost.com and post there. It is a site that is run by expats living in Cuenca Ecuador.
