A PSMA PET-CT can depict prostate carcinoma lesions. This examination has proven especially useful when the PSA level rises again after surgery for prostate carcinoma. In this situation, a PSMA PET-CT can detect the smallest tumour lesions at an early stage and show their location. This information allows the attending physician to determine the optimal therapy strategy.

Costs & reimbursement
PET-CTs are currently not listed within the benefits catalogue of statutory health insurers and therefore only covered through private health insurance.
Our fee notes can be submitted in any case to all private health insurers that cover outpatient services.
Various tracers are used depending on the condition. We will gladly inform you about the costs during a personal consultation.
We ask you to, at the latest, cancel your appointment at noon on the day before the examination since tracers are specifically prepared for each examination.
A cancellation fee is charged in case of late appointment cancellation or if the examination cannot be performed.//
