This study found that 18F-fluciclovine PET/MRI was useful in the detection of prostate cancer and the assessment of response to androgen deprivation therapy.

Comment: The primary benefit of PET/MRI appeared to be in the assessment of response to therapy. Given the large number of PET/CT units and very few PET/MRI unitis, it likely is most practical to have patients get two studies, MRI and PET/CT.
