Fluorine F 18 DCFPyL PET/CT in Imaging Patients with Prostate Cancer

Trial Status: complete

This clinical trial studies how well fluorine F 18 DCFPyL positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in imaging patients with prostate cancer. A PET scan uses radioactive material such as fluorine F 18 DCFPyL injected into the blood to show the internal workings of the body. A CT scan uses x-rays and a computer to produce a 3-dimensional image of the body. Diagnostic procedures, such as fluorine F 18 DCFPyL PET/CT may help the doctors understand the exact location of the disease.
