This leads to significant radioactivity in the bladder, which may limit the PET-detection of local recurrence (LR) of prostate cancer (PC) after radical prostatectomy (RP), developing in close proximity to the bladder. Here, we analyze if there is additional value of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) compared to the (68)Ga-PSMA-11-PET-component of PET/CT or PET/MRI to detect LR.One hundred and nineteen patients with biochemical recurrence after prior RP underwent both hybrid (68)Ga-PSMA-11-PET/CTlow-dose (1 h p.i.) and -PET/MRI (2-3 h p.i.) including a mpMRI protocol of the prostatic bed. The comparison of both methods was restricted to the abdomen with focus on LR (McNemar). Bladder-LR distance and recurrence size were measured in axial T2w-TSE. A logistic regression was performed to determine the influence of these variables on detectability in (68)Ga-PSMA-11-PET. Standardized-uptake-value (SUVmean) quantification of LR was performed.There were 93/119 patients that had at least one pathologic finding. In addition, 18/119 Patients $(15.1\%)$ were diagnosed with a LR in mpMRI of PET/MRI but only nine were PET-positive in PET/CT and PET/MRI. This mismatch was statistically significant (p = 0.004). Detection of LR using the PET-component was significantly influenced by proximity to the bladder (p = 0.028). The PET-pattern of LR-uptake was classified into three types (1): separated from bladder; (2): fuses with bladder, and (3): obliterated by bladder). The size of LRs did not affect PET-detectability (p = 0.84), mean size was 1.7 ± 0.69 cm long axis, 1.2 ± 0.46 cm short-axis. SUVmean in nine men was 8.7 ± 3.7 (PET/CT) and 7.0 ± 4.2 (PET/MRI) but could not be quantified in the remaining nine cases (obliterated by bladder).The present study demonstrates additional value of hybrid (68)Ga-PSMA-11-PET/MRI by gaining complementary diagnostic information compared to (the 68)Ga-PSMA-11-PET/CTlow-dose for patients with LR of PC.}, keywords = {(68Ga)Glu-urea-Lys(Ahx)-HBED-CC (NLM Chemicals) / Organometallic Compounds (NLM Chemicals)}, cin = {E010 / E060 / E030 / E020}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-He78)E010-20160331 / I:(DE-He78)E060-20160331 / I:(DE-He78)E030-20160331 / I:(DE-He78)E020-20160331}, pnm = {315 - Imaging and radiooncology (POF3-315)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-315}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {pmid:27988802}, doi = {10.1007/s00259-016-3594-z}, url = {https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/120596}, }
