ABSTRACT A 69-year-old man with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy 5 years previously and subsequent salvage radiotherapy to the prostate bed and pelvic nodes underwent PET/CT on a Siemens mCT Flow PET and a second PET/CT 10 months later on a Siemens Vision 600 Digital PET. In addition to a suspicious left hilar lymph node, the new high-resolution PET showed increased visualization and avidity of physiologic uptake in paraspinal and presacral sympathetic ganglia. Caution should be undertaken when interpreting PET/CTs performed on high-resolution digital scanners to avoid mistaking ganglia uptake for metastatic disease.
