From RO:

I can place an order for a Ga-PSMA PET/CT on campus, or a Pylarify PSMA PET/CT nearby. Please let me know if you have a preference, thanks!PSA last 4 months:

0.60; 0.58; 0.57; 0.71

Pylarify or 18 F DCF Pyl Pet/CT seems to have better detection rate at lower PSA values with better tumor to background ratios.
