CT Scan

[Oeje14]

Has anyone heard about a scan in the Netherlands that is more accurate than a PSMA?

[Seasid]

Yes, but only for lymph nodes.

It is called nano MRI. I am not sure what is the false negative or positive? It picks up most of the lymph nodes with cancer, more than the PSMA pet CT with contrast scan.

Have a look my first post was about it.

Here is my post about the nano MRI. You could find more information there.

I suspect it picks up a lot of false positives.

I've had the scan, many years ago, and do not know of any such predilection.

[Oeje14 in reply to cigafred]

Is it hard to get it done?

[cigafred in reply to Oeje14]

Very easy when I did it. Overseen by Dr. Professor Jelle Barentsz, a very helpful man, get more information at the following. Payment was only accepted after completion--several thousand euros. Everyone speaks perfect English, except the recorded instructions for breathing during the MRI were in Dutch.

I’m in the USA I’m going to get in touch with them . I know my insurance won’t cover it but I need to see how much it is.

Combidex MRI for lymph nodes at Radboud University in Nijmegen

[Scout4answers in reply to Tall_Allen]

What mm size can it detect?

[Tall_Allen in reply to Scout4answers]

2 mm

[Scout4answers]

How soon till they are available in US?

[Oeje14 in reply to Scout4answers]

I want to go there and get the scan. I don’t know how to go about it.

[cigafred in reply to Scout4answers]

I don't think it will be in the foreseeable future. When my radiologist here, who trained with Zelenski at MSK, saw my scans he immediately called Barentsz and asked to license the technology for the US. He was turned down, I think because, like Mayo and their Choline C-11 PET scan, Radboud needs to get their money back and, for the nano-iron scan, they figured they would get more revenue without the competition. Also other scans, available here, are becoming about as good--I do not know the details of the various scans and this is all from more than ten years ago and my mind grows foggy.

I was a Gleason 6 went on active surveillance at NIH for a few years got a MRI every year they said I was alright then my PSA started to go up they did a biopsy and I was a Gleason 9. How they let this go I have no clue. I thought I was in the most qualified hands. I got Cyberknife at Georgetown I’m on luprin and my PSA is 0,

[Scout4answers in reply to Oeje14]

I had a similar experience, the MO I was dealing with told me he had never seen a Gleason 6 become more aggressive. Bad info.!
