The Whole-Body PET Scan with Choline C-11 is a specialised molecular imaging test primarily used to detect, stage, and monitor prostate cancer, particularly in cases of biochemical recurrence when PSA levels begin to rise after surgery or radiotherapy.

Choline C-11 is a radiotracer that is rapidly taken up by cancer cells due to their increased cell membrane synthesis. This makes it highly effective for identifying early or subtle metastatic lesions—especially in lymph nodes, bones, and soft tissues—that may not be visible on CT, MRI, or bone scans.

This package includes a comprehensive whole-body C-11 Choline PET/CT performed by highly experienced nuclear medicine specialists using advanced PET-CT scanners.

The scan provides high-resolution images of metabolically active tumour sites, enabling more accurate localisation of recurrent disease and helping clinicians plan targeted, personalised treatment strategies.

Choline C-11 PET is considered a powerful imaging tool in recurrent prostate cancer management due to its ability to detect disease even when PSA levels are low.

Information related to Treatment

A Choline C-11 PET Scan is a molecular imaging test that uses a radiolabeled choline tracer to identify cancer cells with increased membrane turnover.

It is particularly useful for detecting recurrent prostate cancer when PSA levels rise but conventional imaging remains normal.

Choline C-11 PET provides crucial diagnostic advantages by helping clinicians:

  • Detect early or microscopic recurrence of prostate cancer
  • Identify metastasis in lymph nodes, bones, or organs
  • Localise cancer when PSA is rising but imaging is negative
  • Guide salvage radiotherapy or targeted treatment
  • Differentiate scar tissue from active disease
  • Monitor treatment response in selected cases

It is particularly valuable for biochemical recurrence with low PSA (<2 ng/mL).

  • A small dose of C-11 Choline radiotracer is injected intravenously.
  • Scanning begins almost immediately due to the tracer’s short half-life.
  • High-resolution images are captured using a PET-CT scanner.
  • The scan takes 20–30 minutes, and the total time at the centre is typically 45–60 minutes.

Yes. Choline C-11 PET uses a low, safe dose of radiation.

The tracer clears quickly from the body due to its short half-life (20 minutes).

It is well tolerated and has no known significant side effects.

Preparation is minimal. You may be advised to:

  • Avoid strenuous activity before the scan
  • Stay hydrated
  • Continue regular medications unless otherwise instructed

Your care team will provide specific preparation instructions if needed.

Doctors recommend this scan for:

  • Biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer
  • Rising PSA levels after prostatectomy or radiotherapy
  • Detecting locoregional or distant metastases
  • Planning salvage radiotherapy
  • Cases where PSMA PET is unavailable or contraindicated

Choline C-11 PET helps identify:

  • Recurrent prostate cancer
  • Micrometastases in lymph nodes
  • Bone metastasis
  • Organ involvement
  • Local recurrence in the prostate bed
  • Disease activity for treatment planning
