title: 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT: Joint EANM and SNMMI procedure guideline for prostate cancer imaging: version 1.0.
abstract: The aim of this guideline is to provide standards for the recommendation, performance, interpretation and reporting of68Ga-PSMA PET/CT for prostate cancer imaging. These recommendations will help to improve accuracy, precision, and repeatability of68Ga-PSMA PET/CT for prostate cancer essentially needed for implementation of this modality in science and routine clinical practice.
